I thought that might be the case ;-)
This is a great bit of writing on this matter:

I see this as a case of de-valuing non-human inputs, and I
consider devaluation of non-human inputs to be a large source of

I see the the persuit of profit as the main reason for these
(ecological problems etc) things.
