agree and good post BUT "Saving the earth isn’t profitable" is too simple, and gives ammo to those with different agendas

Yeah, I did debate not including that part. I think I would elaborate by saying…

Saving the earth isn’t profitable for companies in the business of making consumer products (in most cases).

But for companies that make essential sustainable products/technologies and services like wind farms, or various green technologies, or electric car infrastructure, or waste-to-energy plants, or recycling plants, or any number of things we will need to reach net-0 carbon, there will be a lot of jobs and profit to be made while also advancing humanity and helping solve this big problem.
