Which Generation Did the Most Damage To the Environment?

Pardon the profanity here, but I wanted to make a point about the content.

It’s true that our lifestyles half a century ago were less destructive to the planet, but that was a happy accident.  Corporations at the time hadn’t figured out all the ways to wreck the planet in order to drive up profits.

The moral issue we have now is all this is deliberate.  Nestle and Coca Cola know that a certain percentage of every 100 plastic bottles they manufacture are going to wind up as microplastics in our oceans, and they couldn’t care less.

Consumers, of course, are also to blame.  As long as there is a market for toxins, there will be corporations to supply it.
