    Not always. I’ve always tried to buy what is better for the planet, even if that costs a bit more. Or will repair stuff instead of toss and buy.

      Ye, but you gotta look at it at scale. BP can crash ansingle tanker and pollute for the ewuivalent of 10 generations of your family (all branches). This type of scale of pollution needs to be addressed by governments via policies and their enforcement.
