Comment on Show HN: Find Eco-friendly alternatives to Products You Use Everydayparent

Minimizing small sources of pollution is always good, but I'm seeing a huge pattern of greenwashing.

If people focus on ice trays and straws and forget large sources of pollution [1] we get what looks like an avoidance/displacement/procrastination behavior.

It's like taking vitamins as an excuse to delay a needed surgery, so to speak.
