You cannot guarantee…

You cannot guarantee protections whilst allowing this to even occur.

The "economy" is a human-made conceptual framework: an abstract system of trade, production, and value that only exists because we agree it exists. It's built on collective beliefs, rules, and institutions. It can be changed, restructured, or even abandoned if enough people decide to do so.

Nature, on the other hand, is reality itself: it operates by physical laws, independent of human opinion. The collapse of ecosystems, the depletion of soils, the poisoning of waters, these are real consequences. No amount of financial modeling or GDP growth can negotiate with the fact that if you destroy the living systems you depend on, you die.
