I remember a friend from Europe once telling me that the US forces you to create much more trash than other parts of the world. It might even have been Klaus.
If you read the comments to the article, you'll come to realise that that's ok, because Taylor Swift has a private jet.

Environmentalism. It's not a bad thing in a capitalistic society, if it's done right. This is where we could do good, while not hurting business.
The cheese wrappers aren't the problem, it's the attitude. The attitude should be to package what we can in reusable packaging. From soft drnks in glass bottles to more products in paper packaging. To build cars and houses that last longer and are easy to repair.

The attitude is also behind the reaction which tends to treat any attempt to reward more environmental responsibility as an assault on personal freedom.
I for one am not going to war over Kraft cheese slices. You heard it here first.

No problem with good stewardship. But they do need to get rid of those wretched compostable paper straws. Those things are horrible.
And banning individual wrapped cheese? No problem, but it’s pissing in the ocean compared to the plastic contamination from India…

They still recycle more of it than we do.

This is the argument that gets used over and over again by people who want to do nothing rather than lead the way.
