the consumer

Answer 4

The consumer should be held responsible for the items he purchases.  Maybe we would become more responsible if we had to find ways to dispose of all of the garbage we create by overconsuming.  

We can Reduce, Reuse, Refuse to keep on buying more stuff that we do not need.  There are many websites and other ways to recycle when we need an item or have one that still has some life.

Answer 5

I think that the company should be help responsible for the products that they make.  If we hold the companies responsible, they will find better, more environmentally friendly, ways of making their products.
