Amazon is a huge offender of this. Remember after Jeff Bozo went up in his dick shaped rocket and then had some revelation about how we need to treat the Earth better. Therefore, he made a pledge to monitor the environmental impacts from products being sold through his company? How wonderful and inspiring. One problem- he only did 1% of the products. He is such a dick.

A lot of companies that put that recycling symbol on their products aren't recyclable. It just makes the consumers feel good, so they buy more. For example, many beauty products have that symbol on their containers. However, their containers are plastic. Plastic wont die. It is virtually immortal. So if you throw it in a recycling bin, the containers get shipped to third world countries for them to use as whatever...water containers, food receptacles, etc...However, the volume of these containers and other "recyclable" items are so overwhelmingly large that it's impossible for the people to use all of that. It would take them 5 lifetimes just to make a dent in the amount of items they receive. Therefore, it ends up dumped in the ocean.

Out of sight, out of mind.

If it isn't defined by vocabulary in any language, it isn't true facts supporting 1,064 different realities in one species limited to 5 ancestral lineages and 5 generation gaps sustaining the 8.14 billion soles in this atmosphere now, daily evolving as eternaly separated since inception of the DNA streaming of never duplicated chromosomes so far.
