Why do corporations have rights when living ecosystems do not?
Please watch this very important, interesting, and powerful speech by Mari Margil.
Mari Margil speaks to the 2009 Bioneers conference in the spirit of The Lorax:

I am also reminded about another set of important videos that have powerful ideas to share.
The Story of Stuff. And also The Story of Cap and Trade.
There are also a couple other videos in the production queue.
This is really really awesome work by Annie Leonard. Please also take time to see these important videos. http://www.storyofstuff.com/
It's all good food for thought.

It's important to realize that much of our material "success" is based not on merit - but instead on oppression and violence, on expropriation and exploitation.
