Identifying the PROBLEM
Today products are produced by large companies that are removed from the people they serve.
They make the products in other countries to save money, but in doing so,
they take jobs away from the people they serve and lower the quality to lower the cost.
Today’s product process causes tremendous environmental damage due to the amount
of fuel needed to ship raw materials to low-cost factories and then ship finished
goods to markets and the huge volume of pallets and cardboard packaging needed
to ship from factory to distributor to local warehouse to retailer.
