>>12335894This is actually a pretty good question.
To generalize, it seems like the consumption of goods is considered a public activity, while the pollution of "bads" is considered to be private.
The intuitive answer seems to be that "goods make us feel good, and good feelings should be shared, while the reverse is true for bads". But this runs counter to classical economic utility theory, which mathematically equates the consumption of goods with the production of bads. Perhaps the solution is to bring in psychological or sociological factors, in the vein of something like prospect theory.
