Enviroment, a waste of money?

How can anyone say protecting our environment is a "waste of money"? This is our home, it needs to be a safe and fertile place for everyone to live.

I think what he means is, our government spending the money is the problem. His intent is to turn over the care of our planet to private corporations, like the fossil fuel industry fracking our Earth's structure and contaminating our aquifer; or the extraction industries which lay waste to the land and have employees dying of black lung; or the forestry companies that would indiscrimintely level our public forests.

I want my tax dollars spent on helping the Earth recover from the exploitation of its most invasive species.
