What is the relationship between the culture of capitalism and the environment? If capitalism depends on perpetual growth to sustain itself, can anything be done to stop the damage done to the environment? What are the effects of the expansion of global capitalism on the environment of the less developed nations? Are trade agreements such as NAFTA related to environmental degradation in less developed nations? Should corporations be allowed to move to other nations to escape environmental protection laws, pollute the environment of other nations and then bring the goods back to the United States to sell without penalty? Does this help us to avoid the effects of the pollution or do such factors as global warming affect all of us? Is there a relationship between the above and the health of the people of the less developed nations?
We know that in addition the pollution and consumerism contributes to global warming. Do some deny global warming because to acknowledge the problem might force us to decrease consumption and threaten the perpetual growth that is sought?
