I was surprised to learn that there is only one climate friendly super market within my area of the state, and it is about 2 miles from me. I used to shop there when I needed to find raw milk options but there are about 20 stores closer. Its a very small store, and expensive.
The only way I could think able to impact other stores to phase out or reduction in all other stores would be to help educate other people in hopes they will support the one store possible to, and that larger stores would start to notice. But really I don't think that would do much, since there will always be low income people who can not afford a high end store, and those numbers outweigh all. I dont feel that mentioning this to my local market will have any impact. I suppose I could write local government officials to ask that phaseouts be legally mandated, since CA does aim to meet the Paris Climate agreement, and awareness of this option could be helpful for them. I think something like that would be a great school assignment, since our culture as is does not provide we have the time to give such things. Having political activeness assigned (not added on, but replacing another less impactful assignment) by schools and businesses alike, as part of what we are paying for or being paid for, I feel should be a crucial part of business social responsibility. As is, our time is over consumed by responsibility to supporting businesses as a way to sustain our lives, which leaves the only availability as on their time. Not to mention that organized efforts are what is needed to make a difference, and businesses are listened to over a single individual in a capitalistic society.
