Why and in what ways do firms exploit the natural environment? Why do firms pollute and what are the effects of different types of government regulation on firms' pollution emissions, consumer welfare, and the natural environment (including plants and animals)? Why and in what way do firms deplete energy and mineral resources, and what are different schools of ethical thought concerning resource depletion and environmental degradation? What is the state of the environment in developing countries?
