I understand the abstract logical connection, but I’m unfamiliar with practical data and statistics on airfare increasing in cost as a result of lower priced tickets, or chairs being prohibitively expensive because Ikea makes chairs., and am interested in reading the data.

in my anecdotal experience, airfares are getting cheaper directly as a result of budget airlines, and I travel quite a bit by air.

I get all of my furniture second hand, so I really don’t have any anecdote experience about for furniture haha.

I still don’t see the connection between Ikea products using sustainably sourced wood and being wasteful, either.

using upcycled and sustainable materials is responsible and resourceful, rather than wasteful.
