It requires respecting nature as a new class of asset. I think anyone might understand who has had the beautiful field next to their home developed into a neighborhood, or watched the woods behind their house torn down and developed.

Had that beautiful field or wooded area been given a "nature cost" to destroy, maybe the developers would have made other choices.

Yeah, they think its great to live in the jungle, seeing every other newborn dying, just cus your carbon footprint is low.

They couldn't care less for those forgotten children.
