It might just make people care about the environment that bit more that they try and do something about it.
It's the careless attitude that's already led to this mess.
Yes, and that is always the initial intention, to help people... but then I realise how the majority of other people probably genuinely believe a sieve might actually help re-separate things at a molecular level and I don't actually want to live on this planet any more.
I mean, I can't communicate this in a way which average people genuinely have empathy with. You're right, people do have a careless attitude, and it does lead to this mess. But their lack of education or tolerance for sincerity probably isn't through choice and it probably allows them to live a happier existence than all of us aware of how fucked the resources are for 7 billion + people, and especially for those of us who aren't going to Disneyland after we die.
I think I'd rather think that this could be solved with a sieve. After all, me not using plastic for the rest of my life still isn't going to give me a clean conscience when I have to pay taxes to a government that thinks depleted uranium missiles are a good idea.
It's never the facts or the severity of nature that bothers me... it's just trying to co-exist with people who I know can't comprehend it in a similar way and probably never will, no matter how many ways I try and communicate it.
