This reminds me of the slogan of a Swedish recycling company:
“No-one asked us to save the world – we’re in it for the money” (Hans Andersson Recycling).

This slogan does a good job of both promoting the company itself as well as inspiring debate on the usual notion that doing something to help the environment will only drive cost.

In any case – great to see such an initiative being launched!
