This was a fine enough message until corporations got us to forget that it was meant to be applied in that order. Reduction of consumption is paramount, but bad for corporate profit, so corporations promoted the idea of recycling being just as good if not better than reduction.
Agree. I believe in a short while, maybe after some more congressional inquiry, or maybe another political fiasco, questioning the mental health effects of social media is going to be a mainstream idea. Tooter, Fakebook, et al will be on the defensive, but it will be the modern care-y feel-y corporate message version, encouraging us to use social media “responsibly” while still manufacturing an addictive and harmful product.
