(FORTUNE Magazine) – Our species alone co-opts, consumes, or eliminates 40% of the earth's basic photosynthetic energy and appropriates two-thirds of our planet's land surface . . . In business we know it's unwise to spend capital faster than it accumulates, that it represents a fiscal crisis when you do; why do we think it's any different in the natural world? Face it. If other species were represented on a board of directors of the world, we humans would be sued for breach of fiduciary responsibility . . . if we were lucky. More probably, we'd receive capital punishment. We used up the capital, we get the punishment. -- From Jane Fonda's recent address to the United Nations.
