Will we look back at today's "go green" initiatives as stupid and inadequate? - LemmyWorld
When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic
trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know… but are today’s
initiatives any better?
A lot of the initiatives are ineffective by design because the real goal is to give the consumers agency over the problem.
Corporations have known that individual effort is a drop in the bucket but by framing the problem as not not a “corporate” problem but a “society” problem, they can keep not fixing it, for profit.
