What does it mean to run a sustainable business within a capitalist society??
“We won’t mince words. It’s challenging…
Capitalism in its purest form is a society in which the market sets prices for the sole purpose of profits. Any inefficiency or intervention that reduces profit-making will be eliminated by the market. This economic model encourages the exploitation of people and the planet for profit. Success is measured by only one metric – growth.
The resulting goal of endless growth for profit, encourages the make, take, discard model. It squeezes sustainable businesses between a rock and a hard place. Leaving us struggling to survive within a system that goes against our ethos, while we work to create new systems to support economies that benefit the planet and ensure a healthy vibrant future.”
-Heidi Barr, Founder of Kitchen Garden Textiles
