Here is what I would like from IKEA if they truly want to embrace the climate.
I would like them to move towards durable quality furniture that last 100 years instead of furniture as a fashion business where you redecorate every season.
I would like them to stop creating mazes designed to maximize impulse purchasing.

- exit 7y agoif all that exists is systemically broken and misaligned with the well being of sentient life, then you've just committed yourself to ruin.
- quickthrower2 7y agoIKEA furniture is durable and has a decent second hand marketplace on ebay, gumtree etc.
- lnsru 7y agoCan you provide some examples? Currently sold furniture is basically junk made from paper. It would not stand 2nd or 3rd relocation. Heck, it gets broken during first assembly! Old second hand pieces are good quality, but one needs to look for at least decade old things. They were made from wood back then.
- exit 7y agowhat you would like is for the profit motive to stop being the dominant force on this planet. that is an extremely tall order. "IKEA" as an agent in the world, despite being acted out by relatable individual human beings, is actually a mindless beast.
