Watched Seaspiracy and questioned my "plenty more fish in the sea" assumptions. Corollary is much of the plankton and motion of creatures in the oceans helps to absorb CO2 an order of magnitude more than rainforests. Which of course are also being decimated.
Haven't watched it yet but here's Gates on the matter in new interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZX6uj8K_M https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZX6uj8K_M
More discussion is needed. Especially in IT where e-waste is an issue.
- kite_and_code 6y agoVery interesting! Never heard about it! Do you know if there are already "buy your own plankton" companies similar to "plant a tree"? From what you say it seems like this might have a higher ROI. Also, is my hunch right that we have more space/capacity in the sea rather than on land?
- luxpir 6y agoI don't know if this is one we can buy our way out of. Not buying, seafood in particular, seems to be the most obvious solution at this stage. At least until more sustainable practices are more widespread and stocks have restored. Plant based food companies are probably stocks to watch in coming years.
- kite_and_code 6y agoMakes sense. Regarding the stocks: anything that you are thinking of in particular? Might be a great, immediate way to have an impact, too.
- luxpir 6y agoI didn't but I looked it up out of interest. Here's some ideas to get us started! https://vegfaqs.com/vegan-companies-to-invest-in/ https://vegfaqs.com/vegan-companies-to-invest-in/
- kite_and_code 6y agoGreat, thank you :)
