Plastic containers don’t need to be melted down and remade into anything; they can be cleaned and reused. But we just throw them away, or send them to be recycled immediately, and still consume more; completely ignoring the first two R’s.
Except a plastic bottle start leaking cancerous shit after a week or so iirc

The invisible hand of the market ladies and gens.
I just buy glass bottles and then re-use them for kambutcha
Trust me, the UE have enough money. Please donate to your local homeless shelter instead :3
The average westerner have order of magnitude more of a footprint than the average indian. Not to mention importations.
But I agree, a truely pro-environment candidate would probably get assasinated. Energy quotas aren’t that popular.
I am probably part of the issue, even though I never drove and I stopped taking planes.
How are you going to beat the vast majority of people into submission?
Not with wishful thinking and techno-optimism, that’s for sure.
NATO empowered nazis in western europe. If our politics were not manipulated by the United States I am not sure we’d be allies.

Nato empowered litteral nazis in the highest sphere of our states and murdered socialists politicians. I know liberal jingoism is in full swing but maybe, just maybe, one must consider the economic incentive toward warmongering? My city’s industry is getting back on his feet thanks to weapon sales.
I say that because, well, I live near Brussel, I intimately know the insides of the european parliament. Corruption is rampant. Maybe not to the point of the US, but look up lobbying in the european institution and you will see what’s up. The UE might seem progressive on the IT front but they are also the ones that forces us to sell public services to banks.
