Is the environment being ruined because environmental advocacy groups or research institutions are starved for cash?
It really seems the only answer is consuming less...which is free.
$100 billion in donated wealth won't matter if people won't consume less.
- rinchik 8y ago“If people won’t consume less” - people will never consume less. With current population growth picture of the future becomes even more colorful. And in some under-developed countries an average birth rate was 7 children per woman not so long ago. And we are currently de-funding Planned Parenthood. Awesome move! And due to the “selfish-gene”, human-farming is the life goal of almost every single individual. Is it sustainable? We can argue. Kudos to Musk for looking at the Mars. Maybe not so during our lifetime but shit will hit the fan realatively soon here on Earth.
