But I think it is reasonable to say that in general companies are under considerable pressure to produce returns to shareholders. The pressure is compounded when you add competitors.

I wouldn’t say there’s anywhere near an equal pressure to be environmentally responsible.

I’m not sure why you don’t like this post. While I think that Vinay’s thinking is incomplete, i.e. all costs are eventually passed on to consumers through increased prices and/or decreased choices, his posting provides an opportunity to better understand how differently people view the world.

Another thing I find interesting are the posted comments. They make me wonder, “Short of providing a more compelling emotional event, how do you get through to people that develop their views through emotional logic rather than balanced consideration?”

Take care…
