Try looking at it this way: The whole waste thing has for centuries been out of control, and now it's time to be sane about it. Yes, it means expending money and effort to switch to green practices... but considering how long most of us have been wasting, the expense is a drop in the bucket in comparison.
And you don't have to wait for inept governments to get their act together. That's just another convenient excuse for continuing bad practices. It needs to be done, so start doing it.

Pay close attention to this:
They are not my standards. Stop acting like I'm the Great Dictator, ordering everyone to do whatever asinine thing comes into my head because my bubble-headed mistress thinks it's a cute thing to do. It's a Texan in office, not me.
I'm telling you how you can conserve resources. And I'm telling you that it's not that frickin' hard.
That's all.
But hey... it's a God-given American tradition to be free to do whatever you want, regardless of its value or sense, so go ahead and be a typical American. It's Standard American Procedure to sit back and say, "Leave it alone, and it'll fix itself," so be my guest. You want to insult me, and blow off my logical refutations of your points? Fine. Continue to be in classic denial, waste energy, waste resources, and act superior beause no one can tell
you what you can't throw away. I'm not at your front door stopping you, am I?
