Question by fractal: Why are environmentally friendly products more expensive than those which are not?
If the country’s leaders are really devoted to changing people’s attitudes to the environment (recycling and buying ecologically for a start), why is it when i go to the store and lean towards the ‘green’ products i have to lean away once again upon remarking their cost. why are some people unable to afford to be more green? it doesn’t make sense.

The cost is in using sustainable fuels are tend to be less efficient, in sourcing sustainable and eco-friendly materials which often come from far away (then you have to match the carbon cost of shipping these against the cost of being less sustainable!), and the effort in maintaining a watch over all the suppliers to make sure they are compliant with you principles. Additionally, to be eco-friendly usually means not cutting corners, not ploughing to the edge of field, not cutting down every tree, not even farming or loppong at certain breeding seasons so the work is not 100% “efficient” and that make the unit costs higher.
Worth it though wouldn’t you say?
