Reduce, Reuse, last Recycle, right?
Reduction is supposed to be 1st, as it's the most effective.

It is a red herring.
Necessary, for those small cases where fossil fuels need to remain ( but unworkable, for, say, long-haul jets, or long-haul trucks in cold climates, or the ability to cook in remote & cold places with no sun.. )
Junkies, especially corporate junkies .. tend to comply only when forced to do so.
Addiction is simply so completely beyond reason's reach, that pretending that reason is going to sway people in time is .. itself delusion.
