Gregory's Server@dangoodin @sidereal @chu @ianrosewrites Yes, which is why the choice should be made easier by increasing access to sustainable and plastic free items both physically and financially, and at a time when economic inequality is through the roof and a dwindling number of corporations control markets, voting with your dollar is less and less possible for any given person.

 @dangoodin @sidereal @chu @ianrosewrites Yeahhhh I think we’re going to disagree here. I do not stop the buck at the feet of the people with the least amount of power.  @WhiteCatTamer @sidereal @chu @ianrosewrites What about all the people with means who say fuck it? @dangoodin @WhiteCatTamer @sidereal @ianrosewrites Fuck the a holes who still buy gas guzzlers and water bottles in 2024. |

Corporations aren't going to provide plastic-free options when consumers are perfectly content shelling out huge sums for the status quo. Definitely, some people can't afford to make changes, but huge numbers of people can . . . and don't. And they justify their inaction by saying corporations must act instead. Again, in our current political environment, the government is completely ineffectual. That isn't likely to change anytime soon. Until it does, individuals face an imperative to pick up the slack.
