Strongly agree.

Corporations can't be trusted because consumers can't be trusted.  Even if each tissue chopped down a rainforest, you can bet that at least 10% of consumers would buy those tissues if they were  50 cents cheaper.  In addition, the consumer body at large won't react to environmental issues until they've already crossed the line into a crisis.  Government action and environmental regulations are thus needed.


I think this sums up the core of the problem.  Corporations aren't evil; they're just amoral (not immoral) collectives answering the demands of consumers:  low prices at any cost.
