See, this wouldn't be a problem with EPR. Grocers could still buy plastic-wrapped avocados from Mexico or whatever, if there were no other options, because the extra cost to cover disposal wouldn't be prohibitive without any competition. That's not the approach they're going with, though, so they're probably going to have to carve in a lot of exceptions.

I have no idea how to change that. :/
We can vote, or even take on extra activism, which could even be as simple as a lawn sign. I'm not sure a lack of valuing citizens is the problem in this specific case but that applies as much as ever.
