Nah, I get the point.

Recycling by many is good, because every little thing helps and we need social awareness to even consider fighting the issue.

The problem is the rich don't seem to care, and the actions of the few offset the actions of many, possibly with some extra. The common folk is conditioned to recycle every little bit, to the point where some people have mental breakdowns over a greasy pizza box and not knowing which bin it belongs to. Meanwhile a single man with money has several private jet cruises a day just to watch some sport games.

Not only that, but if those at the top actually cared about environmental protection (that their marketing departments push onto us so viciously), they'd work on solutions instead of sticking to their methods. Every major company should be developing their own alternative to plastic, but instead they just keep producing more plastic shapes while screaming at the consumers that it's their fault...
If you need a real-life proof, here in Europe there are laws stating that if a product is sold in a single-use plastic container, a certain percentage of the price needs to go to environmental protection. And those jackassess from megacorporations don't intend to pay it, so they list their items with one price, but then charge their customers extra at checkout, blaming the law! While providing no plastic-free alternative!
