Well, you make a point. The big businesses do have to be there at some point to keep an economy stabilized, but one major problem is the fact that many people oppose the green ideals, mostly dedicated conservatives, so that opposition keeps the businnesses there and the businnesses continue to damage the environment, as is somewhat the case in the U.S.A. Now in a society where you have atleast a semi-strong committee that promotes green ideals, the big businness can eventually transform all needs into the need for commodities, which would mean that the government would own the businnesses and would be able to control pollution, which would be marxist theory. That is why so many greens are leaning towards the left. They can't imagine a capitalistic society where big businnesses don't pollute. Now, I think there are ways that orthodox, capitalistic society can be run without the pollution of big businnesses. Some those ways are yet to be unearthed and brainstormed though.

Please tell me if I misunderstood what you were saying... thanks.
