I saw an article on American Prospect called "Environmentalism for Billionaires"
It speaks directly to the challenges that big money, big corporations and the people behind them are having in authentically "doing the right thing" for ecosystems and their residents. Frankly the money system we have created does not have the mechanisms to value nature properly. And therefore, when people with money are doing "what is right for money" they are often at odds with Nature, even if they don't intend it so.
The heart of the issue is this if we are not restoring and rejuvenating ecosystems - the very life support system of our civilization, then we're not getting very far in helping the planet.
Of course, we must reverse the damage = "the ecological u turn" but that is only the beginning.
We must devise mechanisms and systems that one, value nature in its pristine state, and two increase human well being while preserving nature's integrity.
