It’s not the system it’s the corporations. The government telling coke and Pepsi to stop using plastic would do more for climate change and the environment in a month than if everyone recycled all plastics forever
It's many things coming together.
It's governments not regulating properly, capitalism demanding infinite growth, and consumers mindlessly consuming which creates demand.
There's lots of avenues for change, and we should follow all of them at the same time.

If you think government decisions are independent of corporations, you've not been paying attention ( US, UK, but pretty much every other state on the planet).
They are both part of the same system designed to keep you working for their profit, and they both need getting rid of.
The fact that a few companies can cause that much pollution is still proof that the system is shit in my opinion.
