Consumers wouldn’t be using single use plastics if corporations didn’t push it on everyone.
How about stuff like milk cartons that added a plastic cap to the cardboard? It always worked fine opening the cardboard top and I would always use it up long before it spoiled. The plastic added nothing to the shelf life and just created more waste. Now every carton like that has a plastic cap.
i agree, you listed problems that should be fixed on the supply side, this doesn’t mean there aren’t problems that should be fixed on the consumer side 🤷♀️

Oh yeah because consumers can economically recycle plastics, right.
consumers can’t recycle plastics, nobody can, there are problems that cannot be fixed on the supply side, and single use plastics isn’t one of them
So how is it the consumers responsibility?
