They Should Be Talking To The Corporations, Not The Consumers!
All throughout this documentary and films like it, I wonder what they think the average person can do about these issues? "Stop getting those plastic bags at the grocery store!! Recycle!! Stop buying plastic products!!" Why are you yelling at me when the grocery stores are the one's who hand them out!? And just because I "stop accepting plastic," what is that doing to curtail the manufacturing of plastic bags and other plastic products throughout the world? Zilch! Nada!!
This is why documentaries like this are useless as they're aimed at consumers instead of the corporations responsible for polluting the earth and the ecosphere. Consumers have enough worries to manage in their day to day lives without needing to be burdened about these kind of environmental issues they can do NOTHING about!
So until these scientists and soap-box orators come off their high horses and actually do something to change the minds of the people running these corporations, it's really no more than grandstanding and virtue signaling!
