Yet at the same time, there are people who cannot afford actually good products, are forced to buy fresh due to planned obsolescence or simply ate unable to buy anything environmentally friendly because there are no products that is/does that. Companies themselves could easily produce more environmentally friendly products, yet don’t because it’s cheaper and thus better for the profit margins.
The fault and responsibility lies at least as much with companies as it does with consumers/customers, if not more.
The ability to recognize that the responsibility is no single person or entities is a highly important part of fighting climate change. I’m convinced that corporations are running a couple simulatious campaigns; one that tells consumers their choices are ultra important and one that says it’s only companies choices that are important so that the 2 sides fight eachother and get less done…
But in the end, both consumers and corporations need to change habits.
