OK, you are faultless. We are all powerless. We are simply wage slaves for the rich. We are cogs in a machine with no will of our own, controlled by the powerful. Every decision we make is in fact an expression of fake self expression. You are thus absolved of any duty to attempt anything to ameliorate the situation, because it’s all useless. We just have to hope that someday, our overlords will see the damage they have caused and give us our right to think.
I think I started this by saying that assigning blame isn’t going to help anyone. If all consumers are to “blame”, then how does that even help? People have been made aware plastic isn’t good for the environment for decades. You really think your personal harassment campaign is going to be what does the trick?

Or… We could just do the same thing we’ve done with any harmful substance in our history and pressure the government to regulate it?

Lol, just because I don’t believe in the regulatory power of the free market doesn’t mean I think everyone is helpless, or divorced from responsibility.
It’s hilarious that in your mind our only options are hope the free market solves the problem, or just sitting back and doing nothing.
Also…you might wanna dial back the performative writing, i think you might be guilding the lilly a bit. Feels like I’m trying to have a conversation with a teenage Ron Paul who just finished Atlas Shrugged for the first time.
