I don't know 'why?' capitalism is killing the planet, as in "what is the motivation for capitalism?"--- unless the answer is is obvious one--- greed. However I agree that capitalism is, in conjunction with its cousin globalisation, in fact ruining the lives of many on our planet.

A financial system that puts the possession of individual, personal wealth for some, ahead of the welfare of all its citizens, is a callous system, and bound to fail eventually.
