Dismantle capitalism or end resource scarcity those are really the only options.

Far easier would be stopping the use of products made using resources that are created by this

Commonly in this case would be palm oil

Good luck with that, so long as profit exists fucking the planet over to benefit shareholders will as well.

Are you here to help fix the problem or to make everybody more depressed?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Being realistic is the first step to solving anything.

Well when you can realistically get rid of profiting, let me know, I'll be taking small steps to make things better in the meantime.

Yeah we need to dismantle our entire economic system in order to prevent deforestation /s

Downvotes incoming, proper regulation is the actual realistic solution

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Is deforestation, fossil fuels, water usage, land usage, animal cruelty.

No need to be so myopic greed is the cause of all of these things.

Enforcing this kind of regulation will need military intervention. The actual negotiable solution is to pay those nations to preserve the land. You can't stop them from making money from their resources.
