I think that if people are trying to avoid plastics but unknowingly using them anyway due to misleading design or greenwashing then their heart is in the right place and we shouldn't sneer at them. At least they're conscious of the problems and trying to do better. Call out the companies who are doing this. Don't blame people for being confused by something designed to be as confusing as possible.

Totally fair. My exposure has been large on folks that virtue signal that they avoid plastic things. To the point that they are largely sneering at people that don't make the same choices they do.

To your point, though, we could use less sneering overall.
