Biodiversity makes life worth living. I want to be able to eat more than potatoes as the only vegetable, or see forests with all the different beautiful plants and trees instead of just desert.

- Glavnokoman 6y agoApart from that person being an asshole this would actually be the right thing to do. Buy the land and give it to the nature. Deep Ecology foundation used to do just that.
- VikingCoder 6y agoYou can't buy the oceans. Our oceans are collapsing. Warming, acidifying, over-fished, pollution. What are we supposed to do?

- JoshTko 6y agoDoes not seem like this person is arguing in good faith. Do they never go to aquariums, zoos, or a park? Do they never buy flowers for someone? Do they literally have soylent for every single meal? Do they live in a concrete box on a concrete block with all plastic furniture and clothes? There is a reason why far more people want to live in beautiful diverse places and not in the middle of the desert.
