eventually we will need to reduce our oil consumption by at least half sometime in the next 50 years I don’t think it’s possible without having the government offer a financial/tax incentive because we have capitalist free trade that doesn’t seem to be conducive to cultivating expensive Eco friendly industry. It’s just cheaper to go with the status quo. business is not going to double or triple there cost to make eco friendly products. I checked the price for some biodegradable silverware and it was 5-6 dollars for a 25 piece set when i can go to walmart and buy a 48piece set for $1.35
the 48 piece set was plastic my point is it’s simply more economical for business to simply buy cheap stuff instead of spending more for eco friendly products.
