How money affects the idea of sustainability

The main reason it's taking so long for people to be sustainable is money. To make things sustainable, you have to invest in these new sustainable methods, invest in using less resources. Before now, everything was made to be used and thrown away, nobody ever thought of the limited resources we have in this world. Changing everything that was developed in the past, will cost money, and a lot of it. Most of which we don't have and that's what scares businesses the most. The world running out of resources is so far away, but losing money is now, and that's what matters to them. Where there's money is the way, and the idea that the world is gonna end is too far for them to believe.
