Will no one think of the billionaires?
don't throw our trash into the ocean! Compost. then eat the veggies. It's the only environmentally friendly thing to do.
When a billionaire reaches the seafloor it's referred to as a billionairefall and it's actually an important aquatic ecosystem. A single billionaire can feed dozens of different species including fish, crabs and some marine worms that only feed on vile billionaire carcasses.
Unfortunately these species are struggling right now because we aren't throwing enough billionaires into the ocean. So please, do it for the worms.
The environmental cost of improperly disposing of billionaires is far-and-away offset by the very lack of the billionaire.
I think we can eat that cost and enjoy the benefits.
Aka "The Billionaire Waste Footprint"
While perhaps inconsequential to the benefit accrued by removing the billionaire…
Disposal methods aren’t weighted against that, they’ve already been removed. So we’re selecting between various disposal methods, and really, we have no reason to not be green about it.
Yes, i just thought we were speaking in the context of a certain submersible.
Eat the rich!
Don't eat junkfood...
I'm telling ya, compost and eat the veggies.
The grind into a nice paste, spread it on crackers. I like Triscuits
One might argue that the red mist they introduced to the ocean helped to support the local biosphere, and since every piece of the "sub" that was able to be located was recovered, that the whole event was a net gain for that area of the sea.
Come on now, we don't need to sink to their level
When I think of who belongs in jail.
I think of the billionaires.
Poor people get all the breaks.
