Have you seen this documentary yet? It paints a very good picture about what is happening to the world around us based on what we do to it.

To sum part of it up, those coal, oil and other polluting industries (airlines, various chemical plants, etc.) do a terrible job of monitoring themselves. Why? Because they have huge short-term profit margins that, to them, overshadow the consequences that will inevitably impact future generations of people who will have to deal with the decaying world (and its environment) that is left to them.

Putting it another way, one word could sum it up too: MONEY!!! That is true... you heard it here first: I have a conscience and I'm betting you do too.

There are, however, simple things we can all do on a daily basis to help change the tide. Using compact fluorescent light bulbs, biking and walking more and even voting with yor consumer dollars for the future.
