But 7th Generation is the exception, and has positioned itself well to be a viable business and offer environmentally friendly products. The vast majority of businesses have not positioned themselves in this way, and a large subset of those *cannot* do so given the nature of the sector they operate in. Visionary businesses like yours are absolutely necessary, but the business world as a whole will not save humanity. It will take regulatory and policy drivers, supported by a concerned and active society, to encourage/cajole/force most businesses to operate more responsibly.

Visionary businesses like yours are absolutely necessary, but the business world as a whole will not save humanity. It will take regulatory and policy drivers, supported by a concerned and active society, to encourage/cajole/force most businesses to operate more responsibly.
