Very short term, maybe. My personal experience is that reducing our family environmental footprint improved our life and is financially positive. More biking in the city, health improves, less water/electricity consumption, bills are reduced, less meat, no overweight issues. You have quite a strong positive coupling/link between paying attention to the nature and yourself. My basic economics is that my bank account tells me it is good.
