How business often reacts on the environment

Today I was told this joke:

” Two businessmen are arrested for eco-crimes, convicted of course, and condemned to death by the EPA firing squad. They’d lead out, tied to the post at which point one of the two lashes out: “We’re not criminals, we make affordable quality products that have made the world a better place. We’re heroes!” The other guy grabs him by the shirt and says: “Hey be careful, these guys are the EPA, if you get them mad, we’re get in trouble!”

The story rings true in Brussels.
