Okay, so go out and pay millions of dollars yourself and do it. If you can’t, why do you expect anyone else to do that, with no hope of return, no hope of sustainability and such?
Then again - go out, sell your house and do it. It’s great to be outraged when “nobody is doing it”. Yet everything requires money to do. I have a company producing humanitarian supplies. Do you think I would be able to do it / should I do it for free?
You’re preaching from the selfish soapbox of only caring about your own bank account, not humanity’s best interests.
Expending my assets to make a difference wouldn’t make a dent and I’d be completely left with nothing. Someone with massive wealth can expend 95% of their resources and still live a more comfortable existence than 99% of us.
Why are we protecting the dragons sitting on the piles of gold instead of taking the gold and investing in our species’ future prosperity?
Ah, so it wouldn’t make a difference if you sold your house. For me, it would make a difference if someone did that and donated all the money to me. It would let me produce way more humanitarian aid and send it out to people in need. It would let me hire more people, expand the business and ultimately save more lives.
We aren’t protecting anyone. You are just saying empty buzzwords like “save the planet”. Yet you aren’t willing to stand by it yourself, and you imagine some billionaire doing it for you. It costs you nothing to want that from them. So they pay infinitely more for it than you, despite the solution not making sense in any capacity and scale.
So again, why should they invest into a fungus that eats 0.2% of all plastic, that needs a specific temperature, humidity, location etc to work, and can probably make as impactful of a change, as if you sold your house and paid people to handle litter better? It’s a definition of wasting millions on nothing. It doesn’t make sense to do it even with infinite funding since there are better ways to recycle.

Because they should care about the future of the human race more than their current bank balance.
We’re doomed as a species.
