Shortest answer to the problem. Corps would LOVE if they could charge some people more for environmentally friendly shit while shoving more plastic in the ocean and carbon in the atmosphere for everyone who doesn't and will never give a shit.

Not would, do. Energy providers, for instance, will often charge extra if you want to only use clean energy despite renewables being cheaper for energy production. That extra money subsidizes their failing coal contracts and investments.

Yeah you're right, didn't mean to say that doesn't already happen. Even Amazon has made it an option to have your delivery be delayed to be more "green" while they pocket the cost savings themselves.
