Great that Airtree is investing in sustainable supply chains.
Are you sure you are correct on Milton Friedman and the environment? It was a long time ago he was on my reading lists, but I remember he was a strong advocate of internalising environmental externalities through indirect taxation (which was later adopted as carbon pricing).
here's what Wikipedia has to say
"In 1979, Friedman expressed support for environmental taxes in general in an interview on The Phil Donahue Show, saying "the best way to [deal with pollution] is to impose a tax on the cost of the pollutants emitted by a car and make an incentive for car manufacturers and for consumers to keep down the amount of pollution."[154] In Free to Choose, Friedman reiterated his support for environmental taxes as compared with increased environmental regulation, stating "The preservation of the environment and the avoidance of undue pollution are real problems and they are problems concerning which the government has an important role to play. … Most economists agree that a far better way to control pollution than the present method of specific regulation and supervision is to introduce market discipline by imposing effluent charges."[155][156]"
Friedman would have not supported the anarchist, libertarian crypto bros who often claim him as one of their own. He was a good economist who wrote well and won a Nobel prize.
