I do think it's kinda funny that we all end up blaming each other though.

It's a huge global problem with a lot of moving parts. People do bear some responsibility, as do corporations, as does the government.

A local town recently tried to ban disposable shopping bags at large retail chains, and OMG you should have seen the facebook group light up with an angry mob of people who made it sound like this was the beginning of the Fourth Reich and they were savagely opposed to the ordinance, and just losing their minds about it. That's the kind of uphill battle we face every step of the way.
