    Soon, there is no "natural environment" to care about. The environmental catastrophes unfolding (with mass extinctions, plastic in the oceans, expanding deserts, pollution, climate chaos, deforestation, etc) are all symptoms of this modern spiritual crisis and the cult of consumptionism. They will get down to the last inch of nature beauty for the sake of progress, growth and goddamn profit

    Green washing is dishonest, we need stronger enforcement and language for existing "green guides" put out by the FTC! https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-issues-revised-green-guides/greenguides.pdf

    Not fair to us .. Asia and Africa. You..Europe and North America start first deforestation since year 1700. While palm oil plantation act like secondary forest that cover the land surface until 20 years before replanting.
