I think parody is an option. Back when NFTs were a big thing, I was going to make a website where you could "buy" a "non-forestation token". Instead of using energy and GPUs to destroy the environment, I would just go burn down the rainforest directly for you. The web interface had a map where you could choose which forest to burn down, and there were rewards for having the largest contiguous area. I got bored midway through and didn't think my acronym was funny enough (or the game was fun enough), so yeah... Obviously that's dumb but I was going to have a link to donate money to charities that work on protecting forests. It would get is moment of fame on Twitter, people would donate money, the "I hate NFT" folks would have a field day.
So if it's parody, I get where the author is coming from. (The site won't load for me, so I can't tell myself!)
