    Can we stop complaining about progress?

    Yes, you’re right, there are bigger issues. Doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the small victories. Any and all waste reduction is a good thing.

      I think what they’re worried about is sort of like giving a hypothermic person hard alcohol to “warm” them up. It masks the real problem and can result in real harm. If we get caught up in these small victories , which I agree are good, we may lose sight of some of the heavy lifting we need to do to make real change. Many corporations rely on misdirection and topic fatigue to keep from having to do anything of real substance.

      I agree with you but I also think the large companies seem to always get away with this and it’s the consumers that have to do all the work.
