We have the power to do as we like, I wouldn't say we deserve to do whatever we like though. A pregnant woman has the power to smoke loads of crack, but does she have the right to cause her unborn a hard life? How do we have the right to give our grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc a life of unnecessary pain? Some of the minor birth defects, to which most of us live with even though we aren't aware of them are the direct result of industrial waste making it's way into the environment. This is just the beginning, as our species, with it's increased needs for material, will also have an increase of waste to dispose of. How does a corporation, who in competition with other companies, and needing to keep costs down, get rid of some chemical waste? What if there is an increase of waste due to a population explosion?

Yes, humanity must change in many ways. Pregnant women should not take any drugs. And corporations should stop some of their pollution. People can protest at corporations and eventually boycott them if they don't do anything. Either way you look at it, we as a people must do something, not the government.
