When we were watching the video about the overall health of the ecosystems of the world, there was one statement that really struck a chord in me. Someone from the logging company said "We care about what you care about, as long as you care what we care about: economic viability". This really made me angry, because what she was really saying is that they don't care at all. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. They're essentially holding the planet hostage and saying they won't pull the trigger until they get their ransom money. They destroy the planet to make money, then they wait for everyone else to spend their own money to come up with ways to fix the problem, and then they have the nerve to say that they won't implement those solutions unless it will make them even more money. It's really quite disgusting.
