Blame Our 'Throwaway Society' Rather Than the Litter Louts?

Leila Taheri leads a UK litter picking group. She claims to have evidence, suggesting littering is a kind of 'revenge on society' (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/03/lead-litter-picking-group-defend-litterers). Taheri maintains that many people feel alienated, discontented and excluded. She suggests that folk who feel powerless, may 'take it out on the environment'. This is easy to do, she feels, as they are aided-and-abetted by today's 'throwaway culture'. Taheri says there is a tendency to simply condemn the 'litter lout', without appreciating the contribution made by societal forces and manufacturers who pressure people to repeatedly buy stuff. It's certainly possible to see what Taheri is getting at. Clearly, many sections of UK society will be unhappy with the 'cost of living crisis' and their (and their children's) falling living standards. Companies could also be much more proactive about cutting down their packaging. Many items could be made to last longer/ be more easily repairable. In contrast, there's generally a fairly minimalistic drive to encourage recycling/reuse. Many companies, seem to deliberately build in obsolence. This is to get their 'customers' to desire the latest/newer version. Having said all that, however, there is something deeply unpleasant, if litter louts are genuinely 'taking it out on the environment'. This suggests that all folk have a 'need' to 'attack' something that's even more helpless than themselves. The rich attack the poor. The poor attack lower status groups. The folk at the very bottom, attack the environment (to 'cock a snook' those with higher status?). There are, however, also many examples of high status individuals littering the environment. What about the rubbish around the Everest basecamp and empty champagne bottles dropped at 'posh' events? We really need, however, to get all people to appreciate that the natural world should never/doesn't deserve be used as a 'scapegoat' for human problems. Our environment is where we all live.
