This also reminds me, in a way, of the argument I always make about water waste.
Yes, it is great to keep your faucet off if you aren't using it. And yes, if enough people keep theirs off, it will make a big impact on water waste.
But as an individual, or a neighborhood, you will never waste as much as factory farms, chemical processing, and many other industries.
Add to it the fact that these companies produce these products, with these wasteful systems, to maintain profit margins so that they can enrich themselves.
If they were making them and breaking even, not paying themselves much. Like if it was a government run industry, and the demand was just so high for this shitty wasteful thing, maybe then you could blame the consumer.
But those who take the most profit accept responsibility.
