Is Sustainable Living Becoming Too Expensive for Average Families?

Eco-friendly products, organic food, and clean energy often cost more upfront. For many households, sustainability feels like a privilege rather than a choice. Should environmental responsibility depend on income? How can sustainability be made affordable without lowering standards?

Many sustainable products or energy solutions have higher upfront costs, which can be a barrier for average families. Over time, savings may offset expenses, but initial affordability remains a challenge, making accessibility and incentives critical for widespread adoption.
