Remind me why should we save the environment/planet? At this point its owned by big corporations and governments, so it should be them who need to save it.

- AnimalMuppet 3y agoBecause we live in it. I hope to be breathing tomorrow. Therefore I care about what we put in the air today. I hope to be eating next year. Therefore I care about what we put in the soil this year. I hope to be drinking next decade. Therefore I care about what goes into the groundwater this decade. What I eat, drink, and breathe becomes my body. If those things are garbage (or worse, poison), my health will suffer. [Edit: And to answer the actual thrust of your question, because the corporations aren't going to.] Corporations may "own" that stuff (I disagree, but let that pass). But my body is mine, and corporations aren't going to take care of it for me.
