If I had that kind of money, I'd buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.
In prince george they did this like 3 years ago. Gave a huge chunk of forest back to natives. They clearcut it that summer. You can easily see the scar on satellite view. Under capitalism, all humans will exploit nature if they have the technology to do so and race means nothing.
As someone with a similar goal that I actually think I will achieve, that land will hopefully never leave my family and be protected forever. We already own two huge chunks of land on the eastern slopes of the rockies which used to be cleared for cattle and is currently regrowing.
Nice, this is exactly why a forest has no car seats. Go achieve your life goals
Wait, does that mean his actions will make him zero friends? Not even the tribe!? That kinda sucks.
You could always donate money to organisations that do these things. Or use alternative search engines that use profit to support nature. I use Ecosia that plant trees and do other things to have a positive climate impact.
But being able to be Bruce Wayne and save a village in South America would also be a sweet deal.
Or I could do the work myself. Donating to charity is just throwing money at the rich.
Depends on the charity.
Also, surely there's volunteer organizations where you can spend time doing that?
Are they gonna give the land back to the native people? When can I find the time?
Cool idea, this car can be leased for a couple gs a month, what you’re proposing would take a lot of money. This car is for crypto bros who share a condo in Miami.
It's cheaper if I do the work myself, which is the only kind of work worthy of respect.
Where I live there are initiatives that preserve forests by allowing people to buy square meters. It's only a few hundred euros.
