Recycling is a toxic lie.

Big brands and petrochemical corporations keep selling the public a convenient and comforting story to hide the hard truth: they simply have to STOP PRODUCING SO MUCH PLASTIC.

@greenpeace asking corporations to behave Better as like asking to a serial killer to stop killing.
We must Push over government to approve laws to ban plastics for several usage (bottles, bags, packaging..) when I was young plastics didn't exist as today and we lived good.
We had glass for wine and refill, a lot of foods were packed with paper, we drank public water.
We were used to but food day by day, without throwing away expired goods.
The only way is a law

We could fix it at the source if corporations weren't sociopathic from the start. That sounds impossible, but it can actually be accomplished with one simple change: make them cooperatives instead of publicly traded. You still have shares. You still have investments. But everyone gets at most 1 share, shares can't be sold or traded, and the workers and/or customers are the shareholders. That erases the incentive for the company to be evil, because who is it being evil to? The very people who control it through democratic shareholder voting.

So yeah, law is the answer, but we can fix a lot more than this one problem if we focus on the *right* laws: The laws governing the establishment of publicly traded corporations.

@hosford42 @greenpeace you are probably right, but the public support to that law would be difficult, corporations will depict that law as a communist ideology. It would be difficult as asking to vote for a patrimony taxation, which should be a fair approach to taxation, but even workers would be against.
Asking to ban plastics is a more achievable target, everyone one could understand is the right step to give our nephew a future.
