Absolutely. Nowhere is the perversion of incentives more clear than in places where we hope people will act from their heart and their genuine concern, because they are out-competed by the economic forces of easy, cheap, fast money.

This phenomenon is also visible with regard to single-use plastics, as much a stretch as that may seem: why buy things that can be re-used indefinitely, and passed on to next generations, when money is such a hot potato? Better (rationally) to trade money for cheap plastic things from the other side of the world.
