RE: Fitting into the Ecosystems Around Us – Part 2: Preserving Ourselves and the Ecosystems

in Economics4 months ago

I agree with a lot of what you said. There are a lot of things we can improve to help take better care of the environment. Unfortunately, a lot of companies like to maximize profits so they don't do those those things. Governments need to do a better job of enacting laws and putting stricter restrictions on these companies.

Sort:  

Companies make profits because of the decisions we make. If we buy from companies that have harmful practices, they will continue with these practices. Collectively, we have more power than you might think.

I do agree with that. But I think one of the biggest success stories of the world was the Montreal Protocol, where we healed the Ozone Layer. I think we need something of similar scale to truly make a big difference.
