Indeed, that is a bad example - sadly enough, this is one of the many cases, who cannot imagine ecological and economical "efforts", as their time is too "expensive" to do the all the additional, manual, ungrateful tasks, duties and sacrifices, like cleaning, waste sorting, composting, energy saving, working and living in a limited space, taking public transports, etc., by themselves. Many higher ranking people and superiors of every level are acting the same way (even with the best intentions); they expect "the others", whether subordinates, neighbours, etc. to make the extra efforts and even criticise them, as they have to focus on their "own" tasks ...
That reminds me also of certain ecological rules and projects, which were imposed on normal - lower ranking people, but not on the privileged ones - like, for instance, the "vertical forest" building in Milan, the "Bosco verticale"):

Ecological efforts should favour the protection and conservation of native flora and fauna, the local, natural resources and sustainable, environmentally adapted production, business, consumption, the native people, society and living conditions.
And that requires that everybody makes some little efforts - as often as possible.
