re: #41 Single-handed sailor
Why not try our organic coffee? Each cup has been lovingly flown here by massive kerosene burning jet aircraft before being carefully placed in diesel powered vans for delivery to our cafe built using heavy construction methods to be served in non reusable cups.
A functioning “free market” would ensure that the price of any item reflects its actual costs and does not exclude the “downstream” costs of disposal and damage to human health and the environment.
If that were the case, then burning kerosene and throwing away plastic would be a lot more expensive and we would be working on viable alternatives.
