In general, people don't understand why it's important to save the world's reefs and forests. I wish authors titled their environmental conservancy pieces more alarmingly. Such as "what will it take to save humanity?&q

What options are there for product discovery outside of advertising? Just asking in general as I find most ads predatory as well. I've never really had a good answer for this question.
