People will do EVERYTHING but dealing with the root of the problem.

    I think there are a good number of people who are trying to deal with the problem, but a significant portion of the ruling class do not want to and have no plans to deal with the problem. So, dealing with the symptoms is the next best thing.

    The only way we can deal with the problem is by unplugging all of these people in the ruling class and starting fresh. But that's not something that is going to happen very easily or maybe at all sadly. Plus, we might just get a batch of fresh shitheads to rule the world.

    But dealing with the root of the problem doesnt magically make the problem go away. We still need to deal with all the plastic that still exists after we fix the root. We still need a way to get microplastics out of the body. This is valuable research and you are essentially virtue signalling.
