First they came for the trees
Logging roads cut, the people dispersed.
Next they came for the oil, the minerals and the ores.
All profits extracted for the few, they departed
Leaving desolation, poisoned land and polluted water.
Externalities never in the accounts,
Such costs borne by the many.
“The economic sectors most responsible for nature decline not only benefit from government subsidies, but also from the omission of the full environmental costs of production in market prices. This leads to environmental externalities—unaccounted—for environmental impacts, such as pollution and habitat loss, that impose costs on society without being reflected in the price of goods and services (Coady et al. 2017; FOLU 2019). For example, industrial agriculture generates greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, or soil degradation, but the costs of those impacts are not absorbed by the agricultural sector (FOLU 2019).”
