Plastic in a landfill and carbon dioxide in the air are two very different forms of environmental damage, even though they frequently get lumped into the same catchall, and only the latter has the potential to be a civilization-ender, so most people mostly care about that.

> carbon dioxide in the air
Because CDs just appear out of thin air and involve absolutely zero CO emissions during their production; during the extraction of their base materials; during the logistics of the final product; the sale of the product; and the CO produced by the consumer travelling to the shop and back again, multiplied by 10,000,000 consumers per year… none of that counts because of wishy thinking and space-star-ology.
