Most big companies are unprofitable when forced to internalize environmental and social costs.

Does the US need a true Environmental Dictator to shift our climate direction? The huge "profit" margins being made by the world’s most profitable industries–big oil, big meat, big tobacco, big mining and big electronics–is being paid for YOU and ME against the future. The drought and wildfires in California are exponentially worse because Nestlé pays zero dollars to empty YOUR water table, rivers and drinking water to sell you their garbage bottled water at $4B profit a year. Why should we expect companies to change if neither consumers or governments are forcing them? Consumers, like YOU, keep buying cheap products that poison our planet, our bodies and wildlife around the globe. Why? Because we are Unwilling to Sacrifice our comfort and way of life today for anything or anyone, not even our children. We are too selfish. We are prisoners to the human condition. Can we get 5-15% of the population to force companies to change? Can we fix the branding issue with being a vegetarian, being vegan? Will China be the one to lead the West into an environmental revolution?
