How about a crypto coin where mining each coin is the cost of purchasing a single acre of a rainforest and not developing it?
We can make it a deflationary asset where the total number of coins is the number of acres we need to not die.

Warren considering a dude for vice president who walked back his support for Medicare For All after the primary and lost the general is way too on the nose.
Warren/Gillum would be a perfect ticket. He was on Clinton’s VP shortlist. If Gillum was the pick instead of Kaine (uninspiring, added no diversity), there’s a much better chance of winning Florida and Michigan, eking out an Electoral College victory.
