It's a convenient little responsibility two-step - us companies aren't responsible, it's you guys for choosing high carbon options! So rather than reducing the carbon emissions of all options as much as possible, they just call it out and claim it's on us.

Basically, the same as making packaging which mixes metal, plastic and paper, and then telling you there's two places in your city you can drop it off for "recycling", so they've done their bit.

This argument works in reverse as well:

>Us consumers aren't responsible, it's you corporations for choosing high carbon options! So rather than making lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions (not driving a SUV, not eating meat, not living in a McMansion in suburbia), we just call it out and claim it's on them.
