Let me help you rethink recycling : give massive fines to top 100 companies for pollution.

[@freddieqmercury5961]

Now if we could just get IKEA to pay their taxes like every small business, that would help the economy.

[@carkawalakhatulistiwa]

No in this world

[@magnolia8626]

This is great! The producers need to be responsible for recycling, not just the consumers.

Another way to make much better use of what is available by adding some small effort and being a little flexible. This is great. Thanks!

All bikes shops in london are far too slow at servicing, that puts people off keeping them! Sort it out!!!

[@noramaddy4409]

If you have two bikes or a spare one per household then the repair time is not so inconvenient. Learning to repair your own bike is another solution.

[@jamesbyrne9312]

@@noramaddy4409 yeah true but this is a city of commerce. The market should provide better services

IKEA used to have a classic sustainable design but to increase their sales they started to sell ugly fashionable pieces held together with plastic parts. Greed will kill everything...even IKEA.

Harmful costs are not priced into products, so the price is low and consumerism is high in the Global North. Until this cost, including carbon emissions is priced in, our planet will continue to suffer.
