I will be brief. I just want to make a note on the importance of political decisions on the way society faces environmental issues. I believe there was a trend in mentality change occurring in American society since the implementation of the Endangered Species Act. I will not discuss here whether or not this was a good, reasonable change. The point is that political forces have changed the rules, and, along with that, a slight change in the notion of what is right and what is wrong.
Politicians can do that.
Hence, I clearly see the importance of politics on affecting moral values, and, thus, influencing ethical issues, which are usually associated with environmental problems. Well, that s it, for today. Corporations are a link among social, economic, and political spheres, and, as such, they are, doubtlessly, in a position to be active entities in the process of assuming responsibility for changes regarding environmental problems. On the other hand, I have a strong feeling that capitalist-generated ways of thinking, being, and living produce negative impacts on our relationship with nature. From the many manners I can think of to illustrate this idea, I will mention just one.
