# Where your money goes

The price of a thing is largely wages. (What proportion is wages? I
guess it depends on the thing. But, say, a computer or car is mostly
wages; a restaurant meal has a larger real estate component.) Anyway, if
you buy a Prius, but Toyota’s workers spend their money on virgin forest
furniture and dirty electrical power, have you really achieved anything
at all? Does the environmental behaviour of a company’s employees
matter? If your Prius is chauffeur-driven, do you need to monitor your
chauffeur’s spending?
