    Uh… from an economic point you just can’t split the additional cost in half if it costs 4 dollar more. If something costs 20 dollars to make and they sell it for 25 to price in the other costs and a slight profit margin and then it costs 30 to make when doing it sustainable they can’t sell it for 20 + (10 / 2) +5 = 30. They would make a minus then. They could sell it for 35, with gaining the same profit as before.

    This is all under the assumption that the original price was a fair price.

      They don’t need to make the same profit as before. They could make $2 less profit, and charge $2 more. Frankly I don’t care, and neither should anyone else who isn’t a shareholder, if their profit margin is reduced slightly.

      If doing that makes them unprofitable, they probably shouldn’t exist, because their business isn’t viable when done sustainably, and they’re relying on being allowed to fuck up the planet to maintain themselves.
