    I think the word “relatively” in the previous comment is doing some heavy lifting.

    If you are going to spend a few hours of your limited free time to plant the shrubs, even if the materials and transportation are free to you, compare that with the relative cost of a small environmental fine to a trillion dollar company building a billion dollar data center.

    The people at the top might not even realize anything happened, if anything even does happen.

      I guess the important thing is to treat hypothetical outcomes as certainties and base debates on them.

        That’s my favourite statement of the day. I’m lucky I’d put my drink down or there’d be a mess everywhere.
