Consequentialism is not a “Left” point of view. Also, many leftists hold some “virtues” sacred; consider recycling. It doesn’t matter that all the tediously “recycled” garbage ends up in the same landfill, the point is to uphold the virtue of caring for the environment.
C’mon, next time you spot a “recycling” truck, just follow it for a while and see where it’s going. Sorry to disappoint you, but you might as well be asking for a “cite” that Santa’s not real.
(And of course, I’m not talking about special cases. Everyone “recycles” their china and cutlery after use—but that’s because the stuff is actually valuable!)

What country are you talking about? All of the major ones that recycle? If so, here is your chance to backtrack to a more reasonable position.
