Who is more un-patriotic?

It is well known, heavily documented & is considered fact that plastic litter, particularly in water like bays & oceans, kill. It kills sea life, as an example, when it's eaten, can't be digested and plugs up the animal.

There's also a pretty good argument that "waste" kills, like too much packaging as an example.

So if a local restaurant packages their mints in packaging like this:



And undoubtedly some of this packaging is washed down our storm drains which lead to a creek which flows into an inlet which flows into the Chesapeake Bay, and we're talking only a few hundred yards from creek to bay:



The question is, who is more un-patriotic?

The seafood restaurateur for over packaging their mints?
The few patrons who litter every day?
Or both?

BTW, there is cigarette butt litter on the ground, visible in the storm drains & on the streets everyday as well.
