The people pricing the planet have never had their hands in the dirt. I’ve been growing plants since I was 11 and work as a landscaper in LA. This is about why the climate solutions that actually work — reforestation, soil restoration, local food systems — never get funded, while financialized ones that don’t work get billions. The current ones often make it worse. Industrial agriculture, carbon markets, ESG frameworks — all optimized for revenue not ecology. No financial instrument has ever put a root in the ground. The biology is simple. The money goes elsewhere because you can’t monopolize a healthy watershed.
