    I’m not talking about people with ancient tribal knowledge. Everybody who can, absolutely needs to do their best to reduce plastic.

    Making it sound like it’s just as much an individuals responsibility as it is a corporation is not the right strategy, and is simply unfair to a lot of people that aren’t 100% sure they’ll be going to sleep with a full stomach. Everyone on the planet should be trying to reduce plastic, but when the fingers start pointing, they should only be pointing at corporations. Pointing any amount of fingers at anyone else is what the corporations want. Tax the rich.
