Yeah, this also reminded me of plastic recycling: Convince people that recycling is actually a good solution for dealing with waste, to the point of shaming people who only have a single garbage can. Then have plastic companies claim their products are recyclable, to the point of putting those 3-arrow-triangle symbols on their packaging, so people will dutifully sort out their waste into different bins. And then promptly take all those bins and dump them into the landfill anyway[1]. When the real problem is that there is too much single-use plastic created in the first place. 1. To clarify, some recycling definitely is a great idea and makes sense, like recycling of aluminum cans. But it rarely makes sense when there is not a positive economic outcome to do so.
