The environment that is pleasant for human beings is being destroyed
because of economic factors inherent in capitalism. At best, with the
best intentions of everybody, capitalism can only do too little, too
late. Government cannot stop the destruction, it can only slow down the
worst of it for a while. If environmental protection rules make
production less profitable, then production may move out, the economy
will take a nosedive and the environmental rules will be relaxed.
The solution is to change the economic system. In a socialist world,
there will be no profit. Production will be democratically decided. The
human need for a livable eco-system will be considered as a normal part
of all decision making.
