Change My Mind

You bring up an interesting point.

If we view capitalism and capitalists as an undesirable outcome, yes, there is no hope. The environment will never be cleaned.

However.

If we view capitalists and capitalism as a tool to be selectively employed, then yes. There is a lot of hope to be had.

These people who staff companies LOVE organization, data, and plans upon plans. (I know this because I have to work with them.) They value big titles and pay checks.

If we incentivize these people with the big titles and paychecks that are dependent upon achieving quarterly goals that are measurable environmental cleaning, they'll go at it hard.

They'll proudly trumpet their cleaning achievements in endless webinars and powerpoint presentations.

And we get a cleaned up planet.

And it's a never ending cycle, because people endlessly pollute. It's in our nature. Existence makes pollution happen, on some level.

So, they'll always have that goal in front of them.

Thank you, everything seems so hopeless, I try to look beyond that. I also have a way we could bring back glaciers. Fixed solar powered drones that block the sun at certain times. If I was a mega money haver or an influencer I would invest in starting a company for that. Or maybe if i just type it out on the internet it will manifest😅 I am a person of great faith!

Everything become a business because we are an corporatocracy/oligarchy

Well we spent the last 200 years destroying the planet, maybe we spend the next 200 cleaning it up. When federal dollars start rolling in and everyone can get a job involving it, seems like a win/win. I also had a good idea about adapting boring technology to do landfill mining and remediation.
