Insightful > “It is estimated that each year, we receive $33 trillion of ecosystem services from nature - temperature regulation, cleaner water and air, meat, vegetables, rain, sun, shade - all of it. We don’t even have to debate whether this is adequately internalized by our economic system, because it is more than our entire economic system in 1997 (global GDP was $18 trillion). Our $18 trillion economy was subsidized by nearly 2:1.”
