At every turn, when humanity is asked the question, 'Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss, which one do you prefer,' we invariably choose the money.

Summary

This quote reflects the tendency of humanity to prioritize short-term economic prosperity over long-term environmental sustainability. Despite being faced with the choice between temporary financial gains and potential long-term adverse consequences to the environment, people consistently opt for monetary benefits.
