You should not be downvoted for stating your opinion, I think it adds to the conversation.
That being said, can you elaborate on how "anything green related" costs an arm and a leg? Do you have a few examples maybe?
If it refers to something like organic food, then, well, yeah... mass producing food without regard for anything but efficiency in creating said food will make it cheaper, not doing that means higher prices for still turning out a profit.
But I don't want to put words in your mouth, please say what you were thinking of.
- lmilcin 5y agoI would risk suggesting that he is being downvoted because of cynical point of view. It is us, right now, who are exploiting the world. It is our kids and their kids that are going to pay for this. And here somebody complains "the cost is too high". It is as if the robber, after robbing your house, complained the bus fare was too high to get to work, so it somehow excuses the theft.
- anyfoo 5y agoI still want to understand that side. And know how it can be counteracted, e.g. by subvention (to encourage the more expensive but better alternatives), and regulation (to outlaw the cheap but terrible ones). For that, I'd like to know what exactly the "anything green related" is that's (being perceived as) expensive.
