The way our debt-money system works, almost all money is debt. You might own your money outright, but whoever paid you that money, or whoever paid that entity the money (if you keep tracing back), borrowed the money. So, there's always some investor still waiting to be paid back those dollars you own.
If the system as a whole doesn't generate enough profits to pay back those investors, it will implode, since investors will liquidate. So, in countless ways, the system nudges everyone to pursue profit and economic growth at all cost. (You notice that growth is universally loved by politicians of all parties.) Issues such as the environment get addressed only when there is enough outcry from the public. They are routinely ignored by the hands on the levers of power.
