It is a post/blog written by Kathy and it discusses why Eco-friendly products cost more then regular items. The main reason why they are so expensive is because of increased manufacturing costs, Eco-friendly products use sustainable material that cost more to grow and manufacture the regular products. However, if there was an increase in demand for these products it would cause the cost to go down. When a product has a low demand, it costs the company more to produce it, which is  why the company raises the price. As citizens we can change this by buying more Eco friendly products to create a higher demand. So basically Eco-friendly products may be considered expensive now, but if more people switch life styles, products will become less expensive.
