The Cost of Climate Change: Spending sustainably
From cars to food, the CNET Money team looks at how the things we buy can make a difference.
In our third installment of The Cost of Climate Change, we focus on the ways that spending money can contribute to climate change -- or help mitigate it. Though corporate marketing mechanisms have largely co-opted "conscious consumerism," there are still ways to be more thoughtful, deliberate and constructive with our spending. Today, we look at a variety of products, from burgers to cars, that provide an opportunity to use our purchase power to support the companies and products that are working on solutions to climate change.
