Interesting (I think I've seen here at HN before?)

And replace this:

> while doing absolutely nothing to stop the further degradation of out environment

with:

> doing something to profit from the further degradation of our environment

Eat the cake and have it too

> Eat the cake and have it too

I don't understand how you're using this metaphor here. What's the cake? WRT the environment, they're just eating it.

The environment yes, and after they've eaten it they can continue making money from it, by partly reversing a bit of the damage they did.

We call that recycling.
