As I said, you're the exception to the rule. Which I applaud.

But people go for convenience. They go for the "bright shiny thing."

It takes a lot to sacrifice convenience for the good of all.

I don't like Keurig machines, tea bags, single serve yogurts, ramen pot noodles and non recyclable cans, bottles and milk cartons. And yes, you kids get off of my lawn. Growing up there were glass soda bottles which had a deposit on them, milk bottles that went back to the dairy and far less waste.
