Question

that eco-friendly cost way more than regular

maybe if eco-friendly stuff didn't cost as much maybe more ppl would get more eco-friendly stuff

Answer 1

I agree

Answer 2

Because we already do things the cheapest way possible, so when we propose new ways of doing things, it costs more.

Okay, I know that sentence didn't really make sense, but that's kind of how someone explained it to me. I agree that "going green" does cost more than regular living [IE Tom's of Maine's products cost nearly double the regular, eco-harmful products.] but hey, you've got to do what you've got to do.

Answer 3

drill American oil would be cheaper  than middle east oil

Answer 4

That used to be completely true 5 years ago, but recently many "eco-friendly" technologies have been closing the price gap with fossil fuels.  Wind energy in particular is already pretty much the same price as coal generated electricity.  

As for cars, a hybrid car may cost about $3000 more than a comparable non hybrid, but if you keep the vehicle long enough it will eventually make up the price difference.  And the more expensive gasoline becomes, the quicker it will make up that difference.

Answer 5

Well, for people who can't afford eco-friendly stuff, then the least they can do is recycle, which won't cost you any money. Actually, you can get money off of recycling.

Answer 6

The first thing we must have is a tax on pollution so we pay the real price-climate change, health and cleanup...Want to drill in Anwer? cleanup the mess so the caribou come back! Clean up after the Valdez

Answer 7

Of course it costs more it is supply and demand!!  There are not a lot of people who want to buy organic clothing, recycled paper etc.  so the demand is very low, so to make a profit they have to charge more for these products.  When lots of people want recycled paper etc.  the demand will increase making it easier for the manufactures to make a profit so they will lower the prices.
