However, it is true that it is hard to be truly ecological when the economy relies on the concept of endless material growth…In other words, a manufactured product that pollutes less as a single entity can become wasteful when more of it is produced than realistically necessary. This is the problem when materials are produced to make enough money in comparison to producing materials to meet needs.

Moreover, the sacrifices made to make one slight ecological improvement in the current political and economic system are too many, especially since that slight improvement can be brought down at any moment.

There is a need for an economic system where humanity, society and ecology are the main pillars. I want people, businesses and governments to determine the impacts of their actions on a personal level, on a social level and on an ecological level.

I agree that I think in a different economic framework, companies would be more enthusiastic to change their habits instead of resisting new ways of doing things. Personal habits will still have to change though, even in a different economy, people need to be less hesitant to make the first step in changing their habits for the better.
