And where would these magical "votes" come from? Would we be born with a finite amount of them, and get to use them periodically? Say, like an election and voting?
In addition, let's say I get lots of these "votes". What good are they to me? What value to they possess/represent? Do we treat them as magical brownie points that are monetarily value-less, in which case, only those that care for the prestige of having many of them would chase them. The rest would ignore it.
Do we punish individuals for having too little? How about punishing those individuals that misuse them? Sell them?
Anywho, playing a bit of devil's advocate there. But sounds like what you're suggesting is money. It's available right now, and yet people don't go around donating ridiculous-enough amounts of it to make an appreciable difference in "karma" regarding the environment. That's why we're having this discussion, even.
- monk_e_boy 10y agoI am poor. I would like to fix the environment. How do I affect change? How do I go from helpless to helpful? I have no money, I have little spare time, limited range of travel. We see these unfixable problems with climate and no real way of tackling them. I spent an hour picking up plastic from the beach, could I turn that time and effort into something? Like money or karma or something else. I can't do it for free as I need money for food. No one wants to pay me to do it. How do we solve this?
