[at-l] environmental ethics

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

I don't have such a positive view of "our business types"; or if our
political types, for that mater.  Short term profit and let someone else
deal with the long term cost/consequences appears to be the driver of
decisions -- second only to "What's-in-it-for-me?".

If you really want to struggle with the issues on an organizational,
political, and policy basis, check out the book _for the common good_ [sic
re: lack of capitalization] -- ISBN 0-8070-4705-8
