    Self Preservation a Factor?

    At some point (now, finally?) even the richest and most powerful will figure out that they can't protect themselves anymore. Their Utopian existence is threatened by the very nature of their businesses. What good is it to Bill Gate's if he dies the wealthiest man in the world, knowing his kids and future progeny will be unable to exist in the cesspool of toxicity generated by his industry?

    Interesting to see the expedited interest in the environment now that even the wealthiest can't escape it. I knew the rich would take note when something as important to them as salmon sushi started being affected.

    Enjoy.
