When our existance is founded on growth, which is usually based upon destroying the very thing that sustains it, our enviroment, we, as a society will fall, as civilisations before us have fallen. Rectification, change, must be the answer to these problems. This is not only for the sake of preserving the natural beauty around us, but for preserving ourselves; when we sew our seeds of success, we unavoidably sew our seeds of failure. This is what i see enviromental artists commenting on, a relatively futile attempt by societies to put a halt, or even reverse our own natural behaviour, much like the recreation of the Lachlan Swamp in Centennial Park.
Reminiscent of "The Tragedy of the Commons" by Hardin; it is our democratic 'freedom' which completes the tragedy of the commons. This freedom is something that the western world has grown accustomed to; it perfectly represents the notion of an individual putting undue strain on an ecosystem for personal gain. Democratic change towards a sustainable, global development must be made by informed masses that understand the consequences of our global communities' way of life. I believe in the concept of Sustainable Development its a reasonable way for humanity to not only achieve never before seen standards of basic human rights such as Generational Equality, but also achieve an amount of ecological harmony that actually coincides with our present days societies 'needs' along with those 'needs' of future generations, which are equally as important.

WHO's definition of a psychopath sounds like capitalism to me:
encompasses amoral, antisocial, asocial, psychopathic, and sociopathic personalities.
