I knew a lot of it, but the amount of trash being created is catastrophic.
I personally have always refused to drink bottled water unless it is an emergency. I carry a stainless water container with me everywhere. Water bottles are one of my triggers, hate them. Always picking them up from people throwing them out their window. I reuse bags, but they eventually get thrown away.
I have already told the story on my refurbished Pixel 3 that I gave $65 for on Ebay years ago, but the number of phones being discarded per year is mind blowing, was not aware of that. Much of it to have the very latest phone available.
Out here in the boondocks we are fortunate to have trash service, so no recycling service. I wasn't aware the recycling wasn't really getting recycled anyway.
I don't feel like it is the seller's responsibility to save us from ourselves, it's their job to sell as much as they can.
I feel it is the buyers job to be responsible.
Amazon has pretty much destroyed the retail sales stores and most recently they have damaged UPS.
