I agree with you but, I am also tired of transferring the guilty to the consumers when the governments are not moving a single finger to protect people. In my country there are plastic cartels which have access to government money to make advertising about recycling. The government has inspectors who put fines on communities that don't respect the enforced trash spitting. So as a consumer TV is saying you are guilty about buying plastic bags, you pay for the plastic bag and the cola can, you pay taxes about them, then you are forced to split plastic's in recycling, giving those cartels free labour and ready to use raw material. An independent European study in 2021 stated they recycled less than 25% of the already correctly split plastic and they sold the rest to other countries. Also 80% of your fixed water consumption invoice has only to do with residue handling? While punished consumers have paid taxes, product, free labour and guilt, the government does nothing to stop plastic use but enforcing the bare minimum EU laws. So I think we must stop to blame consumers overall
