We are putting value in the things that really are not valuable, things like commodities or disposable stuff that can bought, but the rainforest has been undervalued, because the value shouldn't be in the trees that you take out; it's should be with leaving the trees to preserve the life system that sustains life on the planet.

You can't just go out and sign marquee free agents or trade for players when they're at the peak of their value. That's not a formula for long-term success.
