I must confess when I hear impassioned debates about environmental issues I am tempted to wonder what the hot air being expelled is all about: Isn’t it obvious that businesses (and other enterprises) must go about their work responsibly and make sure that the effluents they create in their manufacturing processes be suitably treated such that they don’t pollute the environment? How can our business tycoons be so cavalier about such commonly shared things like the water we all drink or the air that we all breathe?
