I write: You are right. And you are not the first one to think of this.
I am a wildlife biologist and ecologist of 47 years, specializing in habitat management (including the art of applying fire as a silvicultural tool.) and of course endangered species.
During my education, I'd developed an idilic sense of what the environment should be and probably would eventually be. I developed a belief that eventually man would "see the light" and include the cost of recycling in the original purchase price of any item.
I was certain that this would happen over time. It did not. It took me a long time to see the reason it did not. It did not because economics (*including and especially* greed!) always has taken precedence over our environment. However, I am not willing to say that it always will. Things are changing for the better. I believe we will save Planet Earth and I believe the world's top scientists have the expertise to reverse global warming )ok,,,,climate change for you hardcore right-wingers  .
Very slowly, change is coming for the good. It will take a lot of failures but we will overcome it.
>. Recycling: After all, at least we are recycling right? Actually *we are not recycling*. At least 90% of plastics get buried, not recycled. It has all been a corporate lie. See the two links below for solid references.
Something like 9+ billion tons of plastics have already been buried. I hope the same corporations will eventually be made to dig up all this plastic and incinerate it (I guess  .
The responsibility of plastics has always belonged to the corporations. It should have been their cost from the beginning. They have shrewdly appealed to our sense of responsibility to the environment, convincing us that we can make a big difference by are recycling, while the whole time....... it is their responsibility. On top of that, they have been lying about recycling. It's all being buried.

As much as I agree on ilkka_nissila quote, I have problem to believe that we turned the corner yet.
There is too much BS, and politics, certain people just got richer talking about it, but they do almost nothing.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but can of worms is open.
My hair straightens up any time I hear electric cars = green energy, like electricity is coming from nowhere, the car is just like a phone, plug it in, a few watts are nothing.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to attack to consolidate traffic, especially in NA.
Has anyone come to any conclusion, how many nuc's we need to build to produce additional energy, if we remove all the gasoline cars and trucks from the roads, then we replace them with electric cars and trucks.
It would be interesting to see drawing of all those nuc's around Great lakes, and everywhere else, to get enough electricity.
Back to photography, the culture is worst than ever, you don't need to go too far, just look at the YT videos, half of them are about competition, who just crashed who.
There is tremendous pressure to MFG's to bring new product, the cycle of replacement is shorter and shorter every next year.
The cars are similar, every 2 years new model.
We can go on and on, but I'm very discouraged, we're going to right direction, I hope, I'm completely wrong.
