  I mean they're just doing what the oil companies did to great success for decades, the bullshit about buying a hybrid or electric car, or recycling^1 your plastic. Why reckon with the impact of your global industry on the planet and have to answer hard questions when you can just make it the consumers fault and guilt powerless people into using a canvas bag^2 instead of a plastic one, despite the fact that the only reason all the fucking plastic bags exist is because your company is making them by the billion? 1: If you want to get angry, look into what an utter farce plastic recycling is. 2: Not that reusable bags are a bad thing in the slightest, I just don't like being condescended to for using a free resource provided at point of sale by a multi-national conglomerate that's burning the world and then turning around to chide me for having a slightly older car than I otherwise could.
