Well for the very few (hopefully) who are sociopaths they simply don't need excuses. For sociopaths no one else in the world matters other than themselves, ever.
The rest try to make peace with their consciences by any means such as:
1) doing volunteer work especially water, tree or pollution related
2) telling themselves that : they deserve a good salary because they are well educated
they have a family to support
they personally aren't breaking any laws
their job is to defend polluters whereas government regulators are supposed to defend the public interest
individual government employees are a small cog in a big machine
narcissists know that they are special and social rules don't apply to them
they have and will donate to charities
politicians support and use the services of their employers
it's a cold cruel world out there. Eat or be eaten
Money makes the world go around. Governments make the rules. After all these years if I'm not in jail then what I'm doing can't be so awful.
I personally am not in charge. I avoid confrontation. I do what I am told.
Elmira is a microcosm of many environmental disasters around the world. Corporations are heartless, non-human entities. The vast majority of human beings know right from wrong. What they are less sure of is whether or not they have a right to speak up and criticize those with more power, authority, money than themselves.
