Too often, an attitude of “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” ends up leading to a belief that as long as what you are doing today works, you don’t need to consider alternatives. This attitude is strengthened by the situation that exists for most people who make these purchasing decisions, which is that there are not enough hours in the day to complete their tasks now, and the idea of adding another duty will not be well-received by them. But, this means that eco-friendly alternatives may not even be considered.
