55% of all global plastic waste is pre-consumer material produced by 20 companies.

90% of it is pre-consumer material produced by 100 companies.

You and I are not the ones killing ourselves and the planet. It's 100 CEOs.

@StrangeAlienSky They don‘t produce this for fun, but for the products we consume. No need to shift the blame.

@dominiksteiger yet they produce it. If we stopped consuming, would they stop producing?

@StrangeAlienSky Sure. No market, no profit.

@dominiksteiger @StrangeAlienSky well, but they are also actively engaged in extending the market by increasing demand through advertising and (in the case of bottled water corps for example) depleting the quality and trust in tap water, thus increasing demand for their products for people that either believe they have no other option or really do not have any other option.

@dominiksteiger @StrangeAlienSky most companies today engage in practices to sustain and increase the demand for whatever they are producing.

And PR is the tamer option they have deployed.

@StrangeAlienSky also we are not killing Earth, we are killing ourselves. In 100 million years, which is nothing in geological terms, the Earth will be here and thriving. We? Will be long gone.
