One of the biggest habits that humanity has to kick is that of seeing a human-free space and assuming it’s worthless/empty unless we fill it up with something. It’s happening with plans for the ocean, deforestation for “development”, talk of delivery drones filling the future sky, cube sats that will hide the stars. This “space” is the planetary engine, and it’s incredibly valuable NOW. doing all sorts of things that keep us alive & enrich our lives. We should protect it. #ocean #climate #Earth
@helenczerski For the capitalists, empty space is an untapped opportunity to extract profit. Remember the existential panic when work from-home became so pervasive in some places (like New York City) that they started losing some of that profitability?
