My mom killed a plastic plant back in the 60's. Left it next to a space heater and it wilted! My grandmother never let her live it down, either. Whenever my mom got even the slightest bit lippy with her, she'd say, 'Hey Linda, remember that time you managed to kill a fake plant? I do.' And my mom would just sit there and pout and stare.
Evil is profitable, and people/corporations not willing to do the same literally can't compete. For example, environmentally-friendly manufacturing won't make as much money, won't get as cheap prices, and are at a competitive disadvantage versus other corporations not bound to ethical business practices.
