Big retailers contribute within their value chains
Ok, let's be honnest. Unless BIG retailers (i.e. Wal Mart, Pepsico) don't include more sustainable practices within their value chains, it'll be really difficult to actually change the consumption paradigm nowadays. Why? Because the majority of consumers are lazy, uninformed and most probably will prioritize price over footprint.
So it's ok to do awareness campaigns (but they'll take a while to create a critical mindshiftt).
I vote for big companies to start investing in developing small producers as formal providers.
