Comment Culture of Maximum Harm (Score 1) 406
The problem is that as many here have pointed out, forcing regulations on corporations isn't going to change anything as long as people's minds aren't changed. People (at least some of us) need to have a different mind set if we're going to survive in the long run. That is, as long as we think of ourselves as outside of "nature" and living in a separate place from it, we'll never realize that we are only making our very own habitat uninhabitable for ourselves.
It will probably take a few generations to change minds (look at civil rights in the U.S.), but it can be done and not all minds need to be changed for a change in the impact we as a culture make on the world to be affected.
For another set of books more on the cultural aspects of this issue, check out any of the following Daniel Quinn books (all quick reads): Ishmael, The Story of B, My Ishmael, and Beyond Civilization.
