In the book, Loy suggests that our obsession with money is what is causing the ecological crisis. Money is integrated in our daily life; it is our form of exchange. Thus, everyone wants to make profit because money can bring us happiness by acquiring what we desire. As Loy states, we are too focused on gaining, accumulating money, and making profit. All of this is killing our planet by stripping away all its natural resources. By wanting endless growth, we increase our production and consumption, and we end up reaching the limit that Earth offers.
