Loved the article, Matt. Makes me think of how many green initiatives pin blame on consumers and citizens, too. I'm thinking of how the bag tax here in Washington -- ostensibly created to stop consumers from using plastic bags -- turned into stores and businesses using bags that are made of a thicker plastic and are bigger pollutants. Or the big push to recycle plastics, which has turned into us shipping all our plastic recyclables to third world countries where they rot in landfills.
