Well since our beloved corporations polluted willfully and wantingly in the 70s and 80s we needed to step on them and for good reason. The Ohio River started on fire, not from average folk.

Oh no doubt, the 70s in particular.
My father had 3 different cancers - think of that - 3 different cancers! None related to the others. And the last one finally killed him. He was a factory worker for General Motors from the late 1960s-1992.
3 different cancers.

Who then?

Industry. Those companies that dumped their sludge in the river should have been sent to jail without a trial. Done.

Did normal folks work there and by their products? Wasn’t normal folks driving industry?

So you're good with an industry dumping toxins in a major waterway? A product can be made without killing a whole river no? Or would you like to become China where pollution is everywhere but hey profits over air quality.

No I am not, I am glad we as humans recognized the damage we were doing. I think it’s horrible when I see people littering and being wasteful

But I don’t pass the blame on “industry” inrecognize it’s people, all of us, that’s the problem. This is also why I support more private ownership, individuals are more likely to care for their property then the collective

I see your point. But someone gave the orders to dump it. Doing things environmentally safe adds zero added cost to an industry.
