"We" can all be opposed to swimming in our own poop, but that doesn't mean "we" have any ability to change it. The problem IMO is that individuals do care about the environment, but corporations and governments really don't, and they are the ones in a position to make a difference. Drilling further down, the individuals at companies and in government are in a position to make a difference, but they are not paid to help the environment; they're paid (or paid off in the case of government) to boost company profits. Until individuals are unwilling to help companies save money and boost profits by fucking the environment, fucking over consumers, etc., nothing is going to change. It's about the same situation as lobbyists working for corporations to make sure corporations' interests are heard, whatever the costs. Do these lobbyists care about the environment? Maybe. Do they care enough to turn down the kind of money they're making? Nope. Let somebody else fix the environment, make sure consumers have rights, etc. And before someone raises the vote card, IMO voting doesn't work at all. People are just voting for the most convincing / charismatic liar. Nothing says they have to actually do what they think you want them to, and what they say is important to them. And clearly, they don't, and it isn't.
