Something like making the producer of the thing causing remnant environmental leftovers fiscally responsible for cleaning them up? That would price cleanup into the sticker price.

Should probably be a thing for plastics, coal, natural gas, meat, etc.

But hey - that would undo the indirect subsidy of offloading pollution onto governments and future generations, and we can't have that now...

Man, the biggest con these companies played was dodging upstream responsibility by pushing PSAs of individual personal responsibility while lobbying frantically to avoid actual regulation. "Dear consumer, turn off your A/C when in the other room to save the environment, rainbows, and cute furry creatures" instead of "hey energy company, clean up your crap."
