      I deeply despise people who flippantly dismiss entire swathes of existence for the sole reason they can’t profit off it. Imagine thinking plant pollination as a concept is best addressed by allowing the destruction of nature and having the tech industry engineer a solution that can be parceled off and sold after deciding it wasn’t profitable enough to prevent the pollinators going extinct.

          Carbon offset through tree planting is an objective good given the facts of modern existence, any opposing it should become a carbon offset by entering a pit. Just saying.
