We should charge the disposal cost upfront at the point of purchase. I know it’s political suicide but it would solve quite a few issues.

Tax everything the amount it costs to clean up the pollution it causes, from electricity to food. 2 side effects: people will make things that produce less pollution, and people will make cleaning up pollution cheaper
