The Environment
If greed is a way of telling who isn't living harmoniously, care for the environment has the opposite effect in <em>Artemis Fowl</em>. Obviously the fairies are more in touch with the environment and despise the humans for spoiling it in so many places, but what about fairies like Root, who smokes nearly-poisonous cigars? Whenever the environment is brought up in this book, you can be certain that it's to point out what humans sacrifice for their own gain <em>as well as</em> the way the fairies bend the rules on that point themselves.
In theory, many of Artemis's good qualities stem from his desire not to harm the environment, but his ability to care the way he does is connected to his wealth.
Between fairy technology and human ambition it would likely be possible to repair the environment, but the fairies would rather leave humans to their own devices as they destroy themselves.
