Discussion question: Are we too lax in our environmental controls?

Destruction of the environment is a major problem. In order to address the problem successfully we would need the worlds government to be on the same page and strictly enforce the law as if humankind existence depended on it.....because it does. Due to greed governments are reluctant to address the matter. The companies that are polluting the environment are bringing in large amounts of tax dollars for the government.

The question is not are they too lax in environmental controls, but how is the government benefiting from laxed environmental controls?

  1. I completely agree with what you're saying. It's hard as individuals to try and address the problem of environmental control when in reality we should be addressing the issue of how government and corporations are linked and how they are financially benefiting from not paying attention to what they are doing to the environment. I almost don't know what to say, to be honest, because it's such a huge problem with so many underlying reasons as to why this is all happening. Human greed is most definitely one of the main issues at hand. Along with a view point that is nothing close to holistic.
