Is it us – the everyday people? Or is it the big industries – the ones making all the stuff?
Most people believe that industries just make what we ask for. But this isn't the whole truth. Many times, we need to use things (like driving a car to work) because of how our society is built, not because we want to.
And when we do buy things, we can only choose from what's there – and these things only exist if they make money. What's more, products that are better for the environment often cost more. ????, ???? ???????? ???? ??????: ??????'?? ???????????? ???? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????????
While some people might think this power is spread out among all of us, it's actually not. The power is held by those who control the factories, the industries, the resources. These powerful groups have cleverly made us believe that we are the ones causing the problems.
A recent study discovered that ExxonMobil advertisements deliberately aimed to shift the blame for global warming from the fossil fuel industry to consumers. These ads were designed to downplay the responsibility of fossil fuel companies in contributing to climate change. The article also highlights the origins of the "carbon footprint" concept, which gained popularity between 2004 and 2006 through a media campaign by the oil company BP, costing over $100 million per year.

The same is true for recycling. Only 9% of plastic waste is actually recycled worldwide, and in Israel, it's 25%, according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The main source being single-use tableware and building materials. But again, we're the ones told to sort our trash.

In the Netherlands, where I was born, I was taught as a 5-year-old boy how to recycle by playing games with huge waste-shaped plastic dolls that had to go to the waste bin they loved most.
It's not us regular folks who are (mostly) to blame. It's the big industries and the rule-makers.

P.S. Did you know that just 100 companies (almost all of them energy companies) cause 71% of all the carbon emissions in the world? (see research in the first comment)
