The Goal Of Climbing Big, Dangerous Mountains

So All Of These Companies That Are Going For The Big Growth, If It Continues For Any Length Of Time, Will Outlast Their Resources And Outlast Their Customers And Go Belly-up. And That's Why These Huge Companies Have Massive Layoffs All The Time.

I Think Risk Is Important. I Don't Care If It's A Great Financial Risk Or A Physical Risk. You Only Get Out Of Something What You Put Into It And The Fact That You Are Willing To Risk Something Means That You Are Going To Get A Lot More Out Of It.

I Believe The Accepted Model Of Capitalism That Demands Endless Growth Deserves The Blame For The Destruction Of Nature, And It Should Be Displaced. Failing That, I Try To Work With Those Companies And Help Them Change The Way They Think About Our Resources.

Who Are Businesses Really Responsible To? Their Customers? Shareholders? Employees? We Would Argue That It’s None Of The Above. Fundamentally, Businesses Are Responsible To Their Resource Base. Without A Healthy Environment There Are No Shareholders, No Employees, No Customers And No Business.

...there's No Such Thing As Sustainability. There Are Just Levels Of It. It's A Process, Not A Real Goal. All You Can Do Is Work Toward It. There's No Such Thing As Any Sustainable Economy. The Only Thing I Know That's Even Close To Sustainable Economic Activity Would Be Organic Farming On A Very Small Scale Or Hunting And Gathering On A Very Small Scale. And Manufacturing, You End Up With Way More Waste Than You End Up With Finished Product. It's Totally Unsustainable. It's Just The Way It Is.
