Air Pressed
What is the more pressing need to survive, air or money?
If so, why do governments choose economic gain over ecological preservation? Just a thought.

Air maybe be plentiful but it’s quality and condition should not be contaminated or compromised just to deposit more money into someone’s bank account. Doesn’t it seem silly?
Mav: I meant what do we require in the immediate sense but I like your reasoning. Thanks for the insight.
Actually, if you think about what you’re asking, the answer is money.
In an absolute sense, of course we can survive longer with no money than we can with no air to breathe.In that sense, of course we need air more than money.
But you asked which is the more pressing need. We don’t have a pressing need for more air, because we have enough air. And once we have enough and once the quality is at a certain standard (which isn’t always very high), air isn’t something anyone wants to gather more of. Also, air isn’t something we have to work to produce; it’s just there.
We don’t live at a survival level, though. We have survival, and so we seek and work for quality of life.
So the more pressing need is really money, because most people and corporations never feel there’s enough. Money doesn’t grow on trees; we have to work to produce it, and having it then enables us to meet many of our other needs and desires.
Now, about why governments choose as they do, governments are powered and influenced by people and corporations (which are, in turn, groups of people seeking monetary gain). Most people and certainly most businesses don’t take a long term view about environmental welfare. They only see their own desire for gain, and if it pollutes the air or contaminates the water for that matter, well, we can still get better air and water. They almost always choose getting money in the short term (this quarter, or this fiscal year) over preserving nature (centuries).
Los Angeles has some of the most polluted air in the country, yet people flock to live there and property values are high, while areas with pure air are relatively unpopular and have much lower property values. People choose more money over better air.
