Do you think if this message alone spread (it already has) that anyone is going to take it seriously? The top polluters and the ones deciding what our packaging is like are the most wealthy corporations on Earth and they are the ones doing the most climate damage, and the ones who control the narrative and our politics.
Do you think “ban plastics” will ever be a populist political talking point in these conditions? Do you think it would gain momentum?
Or are we looking at it wrong? What if more of us targeted the system that is sustaining climate destruction with an actual populist idea? What if we started wresting control and money away from the companies filling our sea with plastic?
Do you want to spread a message of lasting change? Start spreading “pro family, pro children” messages like the need for social help as millions become jobless as capital starts digesting itself in its current late-stage. You want to see plastics away? (No we’re never seeing an end to cardboard, that’s unrealistic to push for.) Then start advocating for Universal Basic Income and other measures that put control back in the hands of the people.
That’s great, now how?
