“Greed is good.” Gordon Gekko was rather adamant about his statement in the 1987 film Wall Street. Self assurance is not a synonym for being right though: greed is not good. On the contrary; it is devastating to our environment. Greed always comes to the expense of another being, for there is no room for any sentiment other than ‘kill or be killed’, ‘eat or be eaten’ in the business world. With this culture, businesses all over the world have been responsible for the extinction of tens of thousands of species. When allowed to continue, it will be the end of all. Humans are among the few species able to live outside nature; they tend to forget though that nature is still needed to survive.
