We face a vicious circle where there is someone who needs or wants something and there is another who offers you to produce it. There are several forces who potentialized this circle: consumism and capitalism. The boom of both of them has accelerated the circle and thus, the problems derivated from it.
Corporation are an important element of that circle and, therefore, they have a tremendous guilt, but capitalism,and our new life style is in part in charge of creating those holes over environment, human health and so on.
Corporation are not the root cause of the problems, it's more the existence of capitalism that triggers all those damages.
At least we do not realise about what is going on around as and the potencial consequences that our life style could bring, Corporations will keep acting as they act because, as Michael more said: they do not know how much is enough!
After all Corporations are managed by people, they are the ones who have to be aware about when they can not go further, and when they are causing damages over society. But this is really hard to achieve, because when you put all this things against the bottom line of the Corporation, sometimes weighs more to make more money than do it right.

Corporations are greedy machines who are always searching for ways to earn more money and i agree, sure they "never know how much is enough".
ReplyDeleteAnyway, further from just blaming the capitalist system in which we live or corporations that are part of it, i think that we, all the humankind, are somehow responsible of what is going on in our planet. Corporations exist because they have someone to sell to, ourselves. If we were more conscious about the situation of the earth we could put very high pressure on corporations to develop methods for helping the planet and to not damage it anymore. Corporations have a quite evident weak spot: the desire for money. From that point of view is that the pressure should be put on them.
