"Negara-negara "maju" telah memberikan status dewa kepada "pasar bebas", dan mengorbankannya sebagai petani, tanah pertanian, dan komunitas mereka, hutan mereka, tanah basah, dan padang rumput, ekosistem dan daerah aliran sungai mereka. Mereka telah menerima polusi universal dan pemanasan global sebagai biaya normal untuk melakukan bisnis."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The "developed" nations had given to the "free market" the status of a god, and were sacrificing to it their farmers, farmlands, and communities, their forests, wetlands, and prairies, their ecosystems and watersheds. They had accepted universal pollution and global warming as normal costs of doing business.
