Why dont BIG company CEO's live in reality?

Even though there are some people who cant simply accept reality and the fact that the earth is changing, it is.
We are heading down a path where the earth will be changed for the worse in the future.
Why is it so hard for the current people in charge of massive corporations and political parties to understand that corporate greed is not really a good thing?

I remember walking with the protesters of OWS a few years ago and feeling a sense of unity.
Even though many people in that movement had many different views and motivations, we all seemed to agree on a few principal concepts that a drastic 'change' was in dire need.

It seems the younger generations get more and more distracted for issues that are so massively important, its getting kinda scary.
What is the point of having trucks full of paper money when the soil is so polluted you cant grow food?
Having pallets of hundred dollar bills but the air is so dirty it burns your lungs to breathe?

Even a child can understand that viable land, clean air, fresh water, is obviously more important that all the money and gold on the planet.

I sincerely hope the majority of society has a massive change of thinking in terms of what is truly important in life.
Hopefully before we are all simply out of time...
