“Adding taxes to make stuff more expensive isn’t going to help one bit.”

Adding a small ‘tax’ on single use plastic shopping bags has reduced the number of bags used significantly.

So a packaging tax could be an effective method of reducing excessive packaging, or a switch to non plastic packaging.

I don’t think we will see any larger YT channel jump on this. Why? Because they exist to shill for the hobby companies. They rely on the free stuff. So they are not going to bite the hand that feeds by asking awkward questions about the environmental damage that all this plastic is having, or about labour rights in china, or poor wages for workers, or any of the other dirty little subjects.
