Companies have become more sneakier than ever. If you accuse one of creating and distributing useless bottled water, they won't fight you, they will applaud you, agree with you, say that they do whatever they can to recycle their bottles, and continue to do the same as they always did. They will invest in useless and pointless recycling campaigns and projects, they will make ads saying how much they care about plastic recycling, and basically embrace all criticism, then use it to advertise their business, while never changing their practices.

This is very concerning but not surprising. They seem untouchables.

This entities have an incentive to keep on trading, because the society is built this way. If we do not move away from a trade-based society to one where trade is obsolete, then we are not going to change anything. Period.

A company that trades sugary water in a plastic bottle, cannot care about the environment. At least not much at all. Their profits, the competition with their competitors, all of that enchains them to care about their own business regardless.

We will continue to voice these truths via TROM. And if you want to help, you voice them too!
