Actually, Dave, I do know that caribous contribute to GDP (I was speaking somewhat facetiously). They just don't contribute directly to any company's bottom line, which I think is the definition some people around here are using.

GDP takes no account of a country's environment, its natural assets. Generally, if you devastate the natural environment to, say, clear-cut the forests, GDP will show a big gain from selling the wood. A GDP drop won't come until much later, when the hills slide into the sea.
