I can't watch the vid right now, but I don't see how it's not the consumer's responsibility of where they put their trash. It's also the consumer's responsibility to demand environmentally friendly packaging.
I agree with you. Laws should reflect what society (collective individuals) want. It's all driven by individuals who should take responsibility, not say it's the corporation or government's fault.
Many people throughout history have found that when they push for laws for whatever they want, other people do the same thing. See any group of 3 presidential elections and the laws that were passed in the first year of a presidency.
tl;dr Legislating for everyone to do what you want inevitably leads for others to legislate that you do what they want.
