This is in the middle of a food court where every shop is handing out non-recyclable, non-compostable trash. There are no actual trash cans in sight. Visual metaphor for why end users aren’t responsible, producers and systems set us up to fail.

We need to stop treating fossil fuel funded climate deniers as legitimate good fair participants in democratic debate and start treating them like the self interested shills that they are.
