Silent Servants...

Everything translates

into money in our Capitalist world...

At 40, Earth Day Is Now Big Business

This is why I'm so pessimistic about our future. Unless someone can convince the Capitalists that without a world there won't be any more profits we're doomed. Someone has to make a serious business case for saving the world, and there has to be some sort of short-term profit in it (other than the altruistic 'saving the world from destruction'), or the corporations that are polluting our world, and even polluting to produce 'Earth Day' merchandise, will just continue to do it...
