Since humans are selfish creatures and wherever you travel you see plastic bags "clogging drains.....biosphere", the word for the first blank should mean "allow", "permit" or any word that conveys that sense. The word from the choice list that does that is condone.
And since wherever we travel we see them, they are commonplace symbols of consumer society, the word for the second blank is ubiquitous.
The choices are condone and ubiquitous.
