It's a systemic issue, so pointing fingers at any one entity is not going to be helpful.

Go to any garden center. What proportion of plants sold are actually native and beneficial to the area? Let's say you want a grass lawn. What does the path of least resistance to getting that look like? What species are planted? What chemicals are used? What are the dominant practices around that?

These questions don't even touch commercial agriculture, which comes with issues on a much larger scale, but it's out of sight for most.

If we are to change our ways for the better it's going to have to be a complete realignment in all areas from top to bottom.
