Without disagreeing that some portion of global profit comes from "taking things from the planet", do you think that all the value we've created since emerging from Africa somewhen between 50.000 and 100.000 years ago can be compensated with environmental damage? Or is it a recent trend? If we were to plot a graph, where the X axis is the time and the Y axis is profits/damage, how would it look like?

What about mathematics, arts and science? It sure has incredible value and eventually translates into corporate profit. For the most part I cannot see the corresponding environmental debt.

And to be more specific: what kind of damage did the three mentioned companies do?
