You can't buy or sell #sustainability. There are no sustainable products, only sustainable processes and behaviours. Sustainability cannot be achieved by technology alone, because the main reason all of this nonsense we call normal life is actually unsustainable is that we want the economy to keep growing. The economy has already become too large for the planet and needs to shrink by more than half if we don't want to collapse completely. As long as capitalism exists, sustainability is absolutely impossible. Capitalism is going down one way or another, nobody can save it no matter how much they try, but if we manage to take it down fast enough, the complete collapse of the Industrial Age might take another 150-300 years instead of 25-50. And our chances of Homo sapiens surviving the ongoing mass extinction would be much better if we stopped ruining the biosphere for money.
