    Companies invented single use packaging - blamed the consumers for polluting the environment.

    Consumers then paid for garbage disposal.

    Companies did nothing wrong.

    This spiral continues with everything.

    Companies make people dependent on something by eliminating all alternatives, this turns out to be bad for the environment and suddenly the people are the bad ones.

    Edit: there’s this thing in Germany called Rorax, which cleans your pipes. The 100% natural ingredients variant costs exactly the same as the microplastic thing. The only difference is that the natural one needs to sit at least 6 hours while the other one can do it in 2. I opted for the environmentally friendly option.
