Most of the blame goes to the capitalist system which means that manufactures must keep churning out more and more goods into order to rake in more and more money, that means they have to encourage consumers to buy things that they don’t need.  But I think a large part of the problem is that individuals don’t realize how much their hunger for more material goods contributes to the overall problem.   Take a simple thing like trash on the highways.  In the 1920’s you never saw that.  People reused and recycled everything they could.  That was just the way they thought.  Nowadays you just chuck it out the window without a thought when you’re done with it and buy another one.
