if anybody here has ever tried environmental advocacy, please send advice on how to make environmental degradation and capitalism link in a creative manner
I'm not quite sure how you mean "creative manner" - it's always been pretty obvious though:
Large corportations pursue profit at the expense of most other things. Not pumping noxious gasses into the atmosphere, chemicals into rivers or dumping large amounts of rubbish into landfills would be expensive so businesses will generally do all these things to maximise profits. Sure, they may go on about being enviromentally friendly or whatever but that is just a PR exercise and if they could get away with it they would just dump everything outside the factory doors (so to speak).
It's only because of the government's [rather insufficient] laws regarding protecting the enviroment that they take any steps at all.
