This documentary was great. They basically compared all of the hallmark attributes of a typical psychopath with those of a major multi-national corporation. They show that the average corporation is every bit as much a psychopath as a serial killer only it's faceless and much larger. A murderer may shoot you or stab you to kill you instantly. A corporation may kill you slowly with contaminates and/or pollutants or harmful products. What’s the difference really? In both cases the perpetrator could care less about the end result which is the ending and/or ruining of innocent lives. The movie goes through one by one a check list with a litany of other negative behavioral patterns that corporations share with the typical psychopath.
I found out about this court case in the movie:

Court finds DuPont product responsible for birth defects
A US court has awarded damages to John Castillo, who was born in June 1990 with no discernable eyes. The chemical company DuPont, who markets the product, was held responsible. Similar cases have occurred in heavily sprayed areas in the UK. Alan Care provides the background.

If these chemicals effect people this way, what do you figure it does to the environment? And ultimately what we do the the environment is what we do to ourselves because humans co-exist with it. We conatminate the water that we drink for example. Humans 'do' need to learn to be a hell of a lot more responsible for their actions and there are boatloads of documented cases to prove it.
I mean, after reading this would you personally want to live next door to a Du Pont facility? I doubt it. Our plants, animals & ecosystems don't want to either. We're going to have to take a serious look at the way we treat our own habitat. Treat nature the way you'd treat your own home and property. You wouldn't want harmful chemicals being dumped in to your own water supply, garbage being piled up in your front yard or leaking nuclear waste containers in your backyard. Why should anyone or anything have to deal with that?
