So, property rights are prohibiting them from taking care of the land and producing a product or service the business is sitting on? They are just being cheap.

I would take responsible care regardless. I am not advocating an extreme leftest point.

If I had a business, I would take care of the environment while I comduct my business. I would try to make sure as much as possible to take care of it. Yes, there are costs, but they will be made up in a greater return. I am looking at the bigger picture. It is being socially responsible. It is a win win for my business and the community.

Some businesses do not care for the environment unfortuately, so there needs to be laws. Like I said before, there needs to be a balance. This should be a reasonable idea that most people would agree with. Unfortuately, it seems like only the extremists on both sides are heard.

Well, those are DU buzzwords if I've ever seen them. Are you sure you didn't click on the wrong link this morning? I'm sure that you meant to log in to Democratic Underground.

"Socially responsible" indeed ...

You'd think.

"Unfortuately, it seems like only the extremists on both sides are heard."

True. I like to think they sound equally nutty so kind of cancel each other out.
