on the black hole
went through a long list of "environmental awards" (lol) to try get a broad idea on what people are doing to solve planetary problems.
seems like most "innovation" still happens within the context of the market. which is to say that they are possible, future, solutions that require massive collective action.
I guess the question I'm wondering is does something like something like reforestation, conservation, clean drinking water etc. have to be a collective action problem? surely this isn't true.
which is not to say that individual action should replace collective action. just that surely there's space for both?
for example if somebody right now wants to donate their time and skills to these problems, what can they do.
is it possible that one day the answer to this question will become as straightforward and widely performed as something like mining bitcoin, for example?
