Found an interesting article over at Alternet. Although I could have done without the usual references to Marxism and socialism (ooh! the evils of capitalism!), it really does raise some good points concerning the relationship between capitalism and the environment. Is this economic model, based on the idea of perpetual growth, inherently destructive no matter how “green” industry becomes? Will the perceived need to “grow” always trump any attempt at reconciling business and environmentalism?
Regardless of your political stripes, some fascinating questions to ponder.
