Consumer goods makers and retailers investing in sustainably made products after years of shopper outcry, say they face an uphill struggle convincing people to switch when those products cost more or look inferior.
I will pay more. But not 10x more. Considering it isn’t costing that to make it. Most products are only cheaper because I’m the one paying for the cleanups. If we actually paid for the real price of all the plastic shit without subsidies and they paid the cost of transportation and an actual living wage.
Then those sustainable products would be far cheaper.
Yep. And if we go out and buy sustainable products, we’re still paying for the non-sustainable ones. Of course most people are going to choose to get the thing they’re already paying for.
