Can't buy what doesn't exist, can't buy a healthier option if one isn't produced, can't buy a more sustainable product if one isn't produced, can't buy a solar powered utility vehicle if one isn't produced, can't buy wind power if it isn't produced, can't buy items without single use packaging unless they're produced.

Needs and wants may drive a market, but nothing is consumed before production.
