Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Those are some generalizations you're making. Saying "no one" in the title was a bit of an exaggeration, no? There are plenty of people who don't buy single-use items. Lots of people work from home, including me and my wife. We don't have a truck. Most people aren't landlords and thus aren't in a position to control rest prices.

tragedy of the commons. People impacted arent in position to change it, people in the position to change it aren't impacted.

One day we will realize individual actions wont cut it and we need to unite against those burning our world instead of quibbling about who recycles more.

It is absolutely hyperbole. If the shoe doesn't fit don't wear it.
