Monbiot in the Guardian 5.8.2013 about the role of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in spreading and defending the use of neonicotinoids: " So here we have a department staggering around like a drunkard with a loaded machine gun, assuring us that it’sh perfectly shafe. The people who should be defending the natural world have conspired with the manufacturers of wide-spectrum biocides to permit levels of destruction at which we can only guess. In doing so they appear to be engineering another silent spring.

Pekka Mäkelä. Introduction to Consolidative Consumption Hyödykkeiden tuotannossa tavoitteena on jatkuvasti parantaa tuottavuutta. Tässä tarkoituksessa tuotantovälineiden käyttöaste pyritään pitämään mahdollisimman korkeana. Yleisesti hyväksytyn käsityksen mukaan kulutustavaroiden ja palvelujen varsinainen tarkoitus on tuottaa hyvinvointia niiden käyttäjille.
