Which works AWESOME if you're trying to sell things, but TERRIBLY when dealing with complex massive systems where solutions are both 1) bigger than individuals and 2) are location-dependent, as most sustainability problems are. What works in one watershed might not in another.

And it all happened because our discourse on sustainability is built around personal branding. Fitting a certain image. And a Certain Image can never take the place a systems view- embracing the weird, wonderful, chaotic, giant thing that is both our planet & our own species.

Agree with much of this, but to get to the systemic change level, we have to be actually talking about regulation and policy, not personal purchasing decisions. So the straw / plastic bag / styrofoam bans are useful gateways to that level of thinking, despite their problems. No?

Nah, because the vast majority of marine plastic is from fishing nets, not consumer products. Focusing policy discussions on *any* consumer products is the wrong move. It needs to be about international collab to keep fisheries from using the ocean as a dumping ground.

Disabled people still have access to reusable products, they aren't removed from accessibility to those products just because they are disabled. I mean, I totally respect that argument but people tend to not give disabled people and/or their caregivers enough credit or power.

But they are in a much worse position than when the objects they needed were routine items in every food service establishment, and the benefit to marine life is purely symbolic because Western landfills have always been decently capped.
