You misread my comment entirely. I didnt say customers are to blame for companies' actions, I said as long as customers dont change companies wont either because they dont have to. All that matters to them is profit and not recycling is cheaper. Companies are not people, they are capitalist entities.
No I get it, you are attempting to free the decision makers of these companies from being accountable for their decisions.
Why can't you just hold a company to a better standard? Why can't we just expect better? Why are you giving companies a free pass on this?
Jesus, please learn to read before starting an argument. Thanks. Whats the point in trying to make me seem like Im defending companies when Im clearly not? I was merely stating facts. Your attitude of getting defensive even when youre not attacked, just by being told that every single person has a part in this, is really sad. You cant keep blaming everyone else your whole life, thats exactly what brought us these problems. 'I dont have to change because they are way worse than me'.
Oh and before you reply, I wont respond if you dont at least try to read my comment up there. Quote a single line where I defend corporations and I will gladly keep the discussion going. That wont be the case though, as there arent any.
