Capitalism only values nature by how it can be exploited.

Case in point. 

People in my replies be like “bUt wHaT aBoUt fRuIt TrEes and CaMpInG GrOuNdS”. Yes that’s pretty much my point. Trees are only valuable if you can make money off them or hijack them for human activities, rather than because they literally sustain life on earth.

In capitalism’s eyes, everything is but a tool or resource to make profit. Workers and nature alike. A forest is not inherently “valuable” to a capitalist; individual people are treated as “human resources” and labour for 8 - 13 hours per day, most days of their life, until they’re physically too old to continue.

We will only attain a better world when nature and people become inherently valuable, rather than something to exploit.

Forests help stabilize the climate of the whole PLANET and that should be ENOUGH but also there should not BE an enough because LIFE SIMPLY IS ALIVE FOR NO REASON AND THIS IS SACRED thank you

Things should be inherently valuable. All things. All people. Not just people who work, not just things that can do things. Rocks are valuable as they are, trees are valuable as they are, you are valuable as you are.
