About making money for good... this is something I think about often, especially in my manufacturing businesses. Let me explain:
Say you were to pull in 50M USD in revenue to your co. over 20 years, you own a plastics processing factory for example and you sell plastic products b2b, maybe you are a broker between multiple plastics recycling depots for example, there are many ways for you to cause 500M USD in total damages that cannot be traced back to you (for now) in pollution costs
We should follow your example of charity and apply it more broadly, on a systemic level and establish businesses that are more sustainable
