  To be fair they are working on legislation to ban disposable vapes now. And they've been seizing millions of illegal and dangerous ones for ages. And the water companies are getting fined heavily for dumping sewage.

  Humanity is putting too many cars on the road. And average car has too big an environmental footprint. And: “We don’t need electric windows. In the 1970s, face-level vents were introduced, so the reason for having windows has largely gone away. And why do we need motor-powered seats? Most people don’t move their seat. All these creature comforts that we hardly ever use add weight.” Go back to essentials, and you can shed a looott of weight (and size, too. Besides cost & environmental footprint). That's the heart of the problem. The phenomenon described in the article is just one of many symptoms of this. And we (or our governments) are not addressing the root problem as strongly as needed. Expect things to get worse before they get better.
