Whilst I disagree with the death penalty, I've no problem with the army shooting litterers on sight.

I've been planning a post for a while about taxation systems and negative externalities, but as I'm busy I'll just link to this rather gladdening article: http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/lmonroe/marine_plastic_pollution_produ_1.html?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=tweet&utm_campaign=blog

It always stuck me as odd that supposedly capitalist countries allow companies to socialise part of their distribution packaging through one way packaging. Companies should make reasonable efforts to collect their packaging after use, and not offload the cost of doing this onto people who didn't actually buy the product.

Socialising the costs of negative externalities is insane, but I suppose the clue is in the first word of this sentence.
