Overview
Anyone who has seen the movie 'The Corporation' will know that corporations are bound by law to act in the best interests of their shareholders. This means they are required to do what ever they think is the best way of generating dividends.
The downside of the profit imperative is that many corporations act in ways that are ecologically unsustainable. However, if consumers refuse to buy the products or if there is a danger that they will do so it is the responsibility of a corporation to change its ways in order to mainatin and continue to grow its market share.
Consumer campaigns which highlight ecological vandalism and persuade consumers to switch to other providers can be very effective because they hit where it hurts the most: the corporate bottom line.
