Global capital has deceived billions who cared about the planet by selling them “green solutions” that are anything but green, simply by virtue of the fact that these solutions are products. All products are harmful to the planet however green their credentials may be. Bringing a product to market inflicts immense devastation: for a product to come online, a huge chain of carbon-intensive operations must be undertaken, and an army of specialised employees mobilised to cater to these tasks. Even something as simple and benign as a paper straw can mobilize all the carbon-intensive industries our self-destructive economy depends on: research, design, extraction, construction, electricity, transportation, communication, marketing, buying, selling. All these activities and people involved need energy and transportation for their work and their meetings. They must be paid, which means more money circulating in the economy causing more consumption and more carbon emissions.
