Responsible Consumption-Cleantech Mart

Reading Time: 2 minutesFor thousands of years, Earth thrived in a delicate balance. Species coexisted, ecosystems flourished, and nature maintained its rhythm. But in just 90 years, humans have managed to wreak more havoc than our ancestors did in 5,000 years. Among the many destructive habits we’ve introduced, smoking stands out—not just for harming human health but for its ripple effect on innocent species who never asked for it.

Reading Time: 6 minutesThe stark reality of the climate crisis is no longer a distant forecast; it’s the searing heatwave, the devastating flood, the poisoned air filling our lungs today. While the scientific consensus is overwhelming, denial persists – a luxury humanity can no longer afford. As Homo sapiens navigating our potentially self-inflicted trajectory, we must confront a central pillar of the crisis: our consumption patterns. Consumer goods production and use contribute a staggering 30-40% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2019). This isn’t an abstract statistic; it’s the direct consequence of how we produce, market, buy, use, and discard. And standing at the very heart of this system, wielding immense power to perpetuate destruction or drive regeneration, are the Sales and Marketing teams of the world’s organizations. It’s time for a radical reckoning and an even more radical transformation.
