Mega corporations like nestle get their money from us normal civilians not caring about what we consumes impact on the environment.
Like if you literally disbanded nestle over night, not even splitting them up or selling things off but somehow just got rid of them and all their product's... does the negative impact on the environment go away? or do new companies grow to meet the unmet demand and all that's changed is what company is providing cheap goods at the expense of the environment?
We can't all afford to care. This is the huuuuuuuge problem with individual action. People living hand-to-mouth on an inadequate income -- that's most people -- will buy the cheapest brand and of course they will. We can't make them buy the "responsible" stuff just by shaming them. All it's going to do is force them to justify themselves with "it's all just green bullshit anyway"
Systemic change is the only way. The only way.
