It's not that bad, yet. There's still an area at least twice the size of Guatemala that people actually want to live in, so clearly there's no need to change anything. You've got to balance the desire for luxuries like nature against necessities like economic growth, and sometimes this balance goes against some peoples' aesthetic. Development is good, you just need to ensure that all stakeholders have a place at the discussion table.

Only shareholders get a vote though. You've got to have skin in the game to really care, obviously, and anyone saying otherwise isn't serious. Also, shareholders aren't allowed to vote against anything that maximizes shareholder value. It's the rules. Enforced by the courts. See: ExxonMobil vs ArjunaCapital.

That does sound like a very efficient way to get microplastics inside you.

Environmental advocates heartbroken over sale of Florida seabird preserve

Bird Key, a nesting sanctuary bought for a song in mid-1980s, is for sale for $31.5m as ‘a golden opportunity for a developer’

Environmental advocates in Florida say they are heartbroken that a wealthy investor who once intended to save a historic private island as a seabird preserve now wants to sell it for development into “Miami’s most exclusive address”.

Bird Key, one of only two natural islands in upper Biscayne Bay, was named by British surveyors in 1770 during the reign of George III for its abundant wildlife, and has served as an unspoiled nesting sanctuary since then to scores of species of native birds, including egrets, cormorants, herons and pelicans.

Now the owner, Finlay Matheson, who bought the four-acre island with a partner for $36,000 in the mid-1980s, has offered it for sale for $31.5m as “a golden opportunity for a developer”.

Matheson said he felt it was “about time” to sell Bird Key, and that he was “not concerned at all” about what happens to it, according to the Miami New Times, which first reported the listing.

“A very lucky individual may create Miami’s most exclusive address, because this gem is zoned residential,” the island’s listing, with the Miami realtor Audrey Ross, states.

In 2012, Matheson told the Miami Herald he had hoped the island would be “acquired by a government agency or private group that would restore it and declare it a protected bird sanctuary”.
