In this week’s issue of our environment newsletter, we look at well-meaning but complicated efforts to create and certify plastic-free plastic and where things stand with the federal government’s two-billion-trees pledge.

Everything is possible if the will exists
We could be sending our first human mission to the nearest star system at this point but we are all instead more interested in maintaining an imaginary financial system that keeps a handful of people enormously wealthy for no reason.
We could be creating and building systems that are completely self sustaining without much waste or detriment to the environment or to human life or the climate but none of those options are being pursued because it would upset the megacorporations and investments organizations that make enormous profits by just maintaining the status quo of destroying our planet with us in it just so investors can keep making profit.
We would rather destroy ourselves than negatively affect the investment portfolios of a few thousand people on this planet. Millions will be sacrificed over the next century just to keep the wealth of a small percentage of the population.
