It also doesn't cover much about consumables like packaging, batteries,
and other pollution that isn't common to what people perceive as
pollution.

It also didn't really address social issues, like how incredibly
wasteful people are and how much pollution we generate by getting
things we have no need for, being lazy, etc, and how much the new
economies are going to want to follow the same bad examples already set.
