Un-Un-Cat — Episode 30. Year of the Fish
Anytime U.G. the Cat-person traveled anywhere near a beach the smell of the salt air of the ocean brought good memories of her best friend Lee the Dog. He would run on two feet, but he could gallop on all fours. Just like any water loving dog, he would run into the waves every time they found any beach and then run right back up to her and shake out his long blue-grey fur.
Just like any cat, U.G. didn’t like this salt spray and sand mess. She could swim. She liked to fish. But, she would wear fishing waders, and a wind-breaker, especially on a cool day on the beach on the Oregon Coast.
It wasn’t until after U.G.’s telepathic AI-Critter was tamed, their first trip to the beach in 1979, that she understood why the Dog-person from a planet far, far away loved Earth’s oceans so much, — they had nothing like them on the Dog-planet.
The Dog-planet didn’t even have any lakes the size of the Great Lakes of North America, over 80% of the water on the Dog-planet was underground.
Here on Earth, Lee’s mission was to find good food for the Dog-people and if there were sentient inhabitants on the deliciously smelly little blue planet, to make friends and share recipes.
On the planet of the Dog’s, the culinary arts is the highest form of art, and food is the basis for their entire economy. The Dog-people never even imagined pollution and ecosystem destructive industries like human people commit. Much less an entire planet full of people more related to waring primates, than canines.
It was this Dog-logic always searching for food that was running through Lee’s mind as he joyfully leapt in the waves, smelling therefore imagining all the tasty creatures in the sea.
From space in 1977, as his tiny egg shaped craft approached Earth, on the day side of the planet there were a few pale scars of cities, a couple pit mines, and scattered “bumps” on the surface as evidence of humans. On the dark side on a clear night, cities with millions of people glow like thin spider threads of light.
BUT, what caught the Dog people’s attention with their smell’O’scope technology was the surface 70% covered by salt water the same PH as a healthy womb. From the Dog people’s point of view, humans were barely visible from space, but phytoplankton blooms are massive.
Those tiny silicon diatoms a bright rank wave of photosynthesis; micro-algae teeming with plankton. There are so many of these microscopic glowing living-gem like creatures in the world’s seas, by mass tiny diatoms’ unicellular shells make up half of the organic material in the oceans and are the basis of the food chain feeding everything else alive on the planet. — THAT fact is what got their attention from billions of light years away.
In the 80s and 90s, Lee told her several times, “The key to shifting the global warming trend on Earth is this small smelly blue planet’s oceans. The people of Earth need to restore and expand salt water tidal marshes with seagrass, kelp forests, and mandrake forests.”
Since the industrial revolution in the 1800s salt marshes have been devastated because people didn’t understand their importance to the global ecosystem. The 1900s saw further abuse and filling in and paving over of both waterfront-property and the fertile mud of inland tidal marshes turned into farmland.
When Utah Robin Green became President of the United States in 2021. One of the first things she did was restore a small marsh, a pond for ducks in the White House lawn, but it was symbolic in contrast to what she asked all the governors of states with ocean shorelines or great lakes to do.
The United States needs to become a power player in the global Blue Carbon Initiative. Expect increasingly volatile weather. Prepare for storms, don’t be caught “surprised” by climate change. We are moving people to higher ground and building new environmentally sound structures. Not just plopping solar panels on roofs and caulking windows. After storms destroy a waterfront neighborhood we need to repair the wetlands and tidal marshes that buildings should never have been constructed on in the first place and build our homes on the rock of common sense.

President U.R. Green put both the free market and Army Corps of Engineers to work to solve her human 1st environmentalism initiative. The H in H.U.M.A.N, Housing as a Right’, produced green loans with interest rates based on environmental impact. The N, ‘Needs Met’ making it a requirement for all Americans to have access to clean water.
Polluted drinking water is something suffered by too many Americans. It’s not just deteriorating water processing facilities and old plumbing like Flint Michigan. In some areas it’s well water that used to be good, but now can catch fire from fracking. In other areas water is polluted by factory runoff, tailings or sewage. To make matters worse, in some unincorporated areas basic practices for water filtering and testing was not established before housing and businesses were built.
The military as the only contractor large enough, was working across the US installing the new internet to heal the digital divide. To heal the digital divide they were replacing the old phone line system, not the current internet, but a much needed upgrade of 911 emergency systems, call centers, and what used to be the yellow pages with the USPS’s current resident pages.
As the old phones were replaced, all the above ground power line infrastructure to buildings was, structure by structure, being integrated into small smart grids, so the main electric power grids could be utilized by transportation.
This meant teams of engineers were already in the trenches, so while they were digging, it made the most sense to design the infrastructure to secure the quality of drinking water, everywhere.
So much labor was required to get the job done (water, data and electricity from buildings to transportation) in an efficient manner, i.e. as much as is physically possible in one four year presidential term, that President Green established a new branch of military service, to work as a the trained support team.
The Green Army wore U.G’s favorite color, purple. They went to boot camp to asses skills for job placement. But, unlike the military, conscientious objector contracts with non-combat training, careers based in or near their home towns, or state side only deployment was the norm. President Green didn’t want endless foreign wars to be a detriment to anyone who wanted to establish a career to help fight against climate change.
Even on the luxury end of housing and vacation lodging. President Green was able to get coast to coast support for a ban on chlorine swimming pools. And green loans specifically designed for rooftop desalination appliances in all coastal communities in the US.
Both the pools and the private mineral water from the sea, were lightly filtered salt water systems. Lightly filtered means, ocean water with the critters and other debris, (mostly plastic), filtered out. Then the correct salt-mix or minerals were added back for optimal drinking or swimming.
News media pundits as critics, poo-pooed this idea as silly. Saying things like; “Why distill a half gallon of sea water per day, per capita, to battle a rising ocean?”
President Green rebutted this drop-in-the-ocean small-thinking, “Casting your gaze out at rising sea levels is looking in the wrong direction. It’s our very limited fresh-water that is being depleted.”
“Not to mention the fact that water is heavy to ship in bottles, a pint weighs a pound. That’s a lot of fossil fuel dependency that can be eliminated by processing local water.”
And the fresh water conserved by flushing lightly filtered sea water, because of the water intake plumbing for pools and roof top solar desalination, at an average of a gallon per flush, per person? I don’t know how many times per day each toilet gets flushed, but that’s a lot of fresh water that doesn’t have to get processed as sewage, twice.
Almost 30% / 100 million Americans live near an ocean, the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific. Many millions more live near lakes great and small. President Green asked governments in those states to team up with scientists. Water processed everywhere produced a lot of data. Marine biologists, the FDA, EPA and the local water services authority had access to the debris and salt collected along the entire coast of the US. Mapping of Ph, microplastics, industrial pollution and pharmaceutical contaminants in the ocean, lakes and local water supply, everywhere, was very helpful to identify and prevent further water contamination.

Weather and pollution knows no boarders.
When the Dog from outer space dreamed of everyone working together to save the planet, he meant E V E R Y O N E on E A R T H.
The Cat that was POUTS on her first international trip in the summer of 2021, President Green looked out of the windows on Air-force One and forced down the hackles of her fur standing on end, (she really didn’t like flying). She had been working with leaders of most of the countries in South America state-side to quickly find solutions for the refugee crisis. A talking cat on the screen is fascinating, but she knew people needed to meet with her in person to truly understand her. And the telepathic AI-critter needed contact to read the complexity of an individual’s intentions.
Her first formally coordinated stop was the largest salt pan on Earth, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, South America. It’s a very important environmental note that not all salt pans have the same mineral composition. The brine under the crust of the playa is rich in lithium. An estimated 50 to 70% of the world’s lithium deposits are in this one salt pan. The US has attempted to propose trade deals before, but President Green was making a fair-trade agreement. An exchange package approved by the US Congress for computer technology and environmental engineering clean-up that would benefit all the people in every country in South America, publicly agreed upon with the world as witness.
President Green’s special team of climate scientists and engineers had set up a temporary camp on the dry western edge near the Atacama Desert and the Chilean border with United Nations scientists and leadership. The president of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru met with President Green for a two day climate change summit to make the internationally televised trade deal to environmentally modernize and technologically advance the economies of all the countries in South America, in exchange for lithium for batteries. All was agreed upon in advance of their summit with the UN as moderator to minimize confusion.
“I joke on the behalf of Brazil and Argentina, If the goal of the giant Cat President Green’s trip is to mitigate climate change. One would think she would travel to the lungs of the Earth, the rain forest. But, no, this cat goes straight to the power battery!” The Bolivian president read this joke to the translators.
But, President Green had an AI-Critter and before the translators could finish she had taken his nervous hands in her paws, looked him straight in the eyes clearly able to communicate regardless of the language being spoken.“We will up-cycle post industrial technology into the passive energy revolution, together.”
“Work together to save life on our planet!” All four leaders reached in, her paw’s and their hand’s together. The huddle of leaders, their fingers in contact with her fur could see what she meant, a stream of images flowed into their minds. Not of profit and greed, but of restoring the balance of life uprooted by conflict. Working together with the UN they would force the fortune 1000 industrial global corporations who had caused damage to fund the restoration of the soil and water they had polluted.
For the people, those who wished to keep the local traditions for their daily life’s work could skip so-called modernization with its packaged garbage. Only acquiring what was beneficial to them for communication and education.
Specifically beneficial they saw the new free-internet and solid-state solar-flair-safe data-storage-technology the Green administration was designing for Americans. Well thought out electronics designed to last, to eliminate e-waste and reduce the materials required to produce and maintain technology, less crude oil plastic and more silicone. Less need for travel by dispersing the value of the information age to everyone.
Closer to home was a plan for coordinated ergonomic city and towns designed with passive local energy. Solar and radiant-night-sky-cooling used directly. They would not be required to use fossil fuels or build a grid to every home and business.
Everything being planned for the new North American smart-grids and local utilities infrastructure flooded over the leaders of South America’s minds in a rush of images and ideas, to share, and talk about with their people. All the leaders and their staff who came in contact with President Green and her telepathic AI departed with much information to mull over. Not selling them a product but copy-left designs for self-reliance and because the telepathic critter could read their minds and answer in turn, these ideas were understood, and ideas that were what the people wanted, spread like vines.
From South America, President Green traveled next to the salt pan in the Makgadikgadi Basin, in Botswana, Africa. Unlike the single pan visible from space in Bolivia South America, this pan is divided into a series of ancient lakes.
President Green visited a couple of archaeology sites where some of the oldest artifacts from prehistoric humans had been found. From this central location in Africa, President Green’s team flew in choppers to multiple locations in South Africa where groups of scientists and local governments set up camps to meet the Cat-Person President.
As the news spread that President Green was in Africa, so many people wanted to see this 5’/150cm tall talking Cat with their own eyes she would travel to remote areas a short distance away from the gathering crowds, then have the military bring their leaders and scientists to her. They would complete their talks about climate change, and water, then she would fly in and greet the people for a short appearance, to contact the AI critter telepathically with as much of the crowd as she could before being overwhelmed and traveling to the next country.
President Green continued to draw wonder from the world and make news as she traveled from one salt pan to the next. The people would ask, “What is she doing? Why is America’s POTUS traveling to these harsh uninhabitable areas instead of to bountiful populated cities?” Then they would meet her and connect telepathically; and they would know.
Somalia has salt flats on the water. Lake Assal, Djibouti is a very deep in-land sea. There appear to be salt flats in the Western Sahara but conflict in the area make any attempts at research for climate change mitigation nearly impossible. To a lesser degree conflict in Libya meant their leaders were not interested in talking to the US President about water and climate change. But, in-spite of conflict President Green visited Algeria because they were very interested in talks about climate change’s effect on their country. The Cat President was also welcomed to visit Tunisia, and Egypt.
In Egypt she was momentarily distracted from her mission to talk about water and climate change by a fairy tale about Cat-people like herself. They were talking amongst themselves when they saw her, not talking to her, someone in a large dinner gathering held in honor of her visit said, the last surviving Cat-person in the Middle East was captured by the CIA. The telepathic AI-critter could not locate the person in the dinner party to interview them further. But, what caught both the President and the AIC’s attention was, it was a black cat with yellow eyes — it seemed to be the same Cat-person, the AIC had seen in the memory of Corporal Davis the AWOL soldier who had risked arrest by visiting the White House in her first week in office.
Once back in the relative privacy of Air Force One. The letter Davis had given her and this story, (apparently in the mind of an Egyptian military person who wanted to remain anonymous), matched-up to enough of a lead to ask the CIA director to look if this rumor was true, and if yes, inquire into where this Cat-Person was being held.
The Africa portion of President Green’s world tour schedule having taken much longer than they had planned, a formal and polite request to skip all but one of her visits to the Middle East before traveling to India was proposed and accepted.
There are currently some considerable environmental projects in the works in the Middle East. Some very costly projects with multinational teams in Dubai. But, the US President’s one stop in the Middle East was Jordan’s Red Sea — Dead Sea Water Conveyance project sometimes called the Two Seas Canal.
The pipeline’s goals are to stabilize the shrinking water level of the Dead Sea. Provide potable water to Jordan, Israel, and Palestinian territories and generate electricity. This effort is important for the region environmentally and to help relieve political tensions as relates to conflict over water rights.
The US President’s arrival drew a massive crowd in spite of the ongoing war. “America has done enough, and most of it not good. This project should be a global symbol for peace, from all the people in the world including the US. A water rights project for providing clean drinking water for all people in the area that is more important than any military action.”
President Green’s next international meeting was a very important globally. They gathered at Pangong Tso Lake on the boarder with China and India to meet with both countries leader’s and a group of scientists and representatives from ‘Listed Wetlands of International Importance’.
All were happy to meet the Cat-POTUS, the world had seen the leaders join hands in the huddle in Bolivia. The South American — North American trade deal was very good news and the global majority wanted to participate to save the world together.
India’s conversations and presentations stayed neatly in the pre-planned discussion. Industry shifts to eliminate plastic packaging especially bottled water, soda beverage products, plastic packaged beauty products and cleaning products. These use once throw away garbage generators that were mostly water sold in plastic. As well as environmental production shifts to eliminate industry specific waste that polluted water, like textiles and leather dying.
In stark contrast to India’s conversational tone, China was quietly watching the talks between India’s leaders and the US diplomats, nodding and not saying much, at first.
When President Green inquired with the AI critter about what the representatives for China were thinking as they listened. The telepathic AIC’s answer was not linear. China had been watching everyone in the world for decades. They planned to request serious and direct actions to mitigate climate change bigger than just eliminating plastic garbage to reduce waste at the production level.
The Chinese had read all of President Green’s plans to push local water purification and re-plumbing of old lead-pipe infrastructure for clean water for every area in the US, and they proposed this plan expanded to the entire world, starting with themselves of course. China’s South-to-North water canals are the largest water diversion project ever, in recorded human history.
President Green’s plans for roof-top solar distills of sea water and local mineral water seemed like a nice luxury for roof-top penthouses with swimming pools. Good, but not enough to solve water needs for China and the rest of the world.
President Green and the telepathic AI-Critter were crushed by an overwhelming complex wave of information from the Chinese. And it was a very choppy storm because who-knew-what information wasn’t shared evenly between scientist and military intelligence and this seemed at first to be a threatening a fracture of any long term goal to save the planet. For example, one group, mostly in the military, knew “everything” about her. They know about the Cat-dimension, several instances in world history like Egypt where the Cat-people had infiltrated the human Earth. They knew about her kitten-hood. About the political fights of her Mother and Father and their deaths. And most surprisingly they knew about Lee the Dog extraterrestrial from a far away planet in a distant solar system, billions of light years from Earth. Chinese astrologists had even star mapped the location of the Dog-Planet!!!
She and the AI were startled to find the Chinese intelligence community also knew the dates when the Lee had landed, and when his craft departed from Earth. And they had read all drafts of everything he had ever written during his visit to Planet Earth, all 2,842,791 words — all of it!!!
Another group of the Chinese team, mostly heads of government and bankers knew every detail of U.R. Green’s plans for her term as President of the United States. And they were very fascinated by her HUMAN political platform. Specifically as HUMAN first economics related to stimulus of the flow of cash money with Green Loans for housing, utilities, and infrastructure.
To be fair their interest was justified, China’s South-to-North water canals was not only the largest water diversion project ever, in recorded human history, it was by far the most expensive aqueduct project ever, in human history.
In addition to their massive water canal system, the Chinese also farmed the most aquaculture of any nation on Earth. (aquaculture is like agriculture only with fish, shrimp and shell fish).
The Chinese bankers were very interested in President Green’s proposed Environmental Green building loans to such an extreme. They had a monumental life on Earth altering financial proposal for climate action for every nation to participate in together, every 7 years for a thousand years, or as long as it took to successfully mitigate climate change.
The Chinese performed an immense presentation, with a giant reverse-projected video program on a massive silk screen, accompanied by a full live symphony to introduce the world to their idea to save life on Earth, and they called their idea ‘The Year of the Fish’.
Sustainability of global aquaculture is being endangered by plastic gyres in every ocean on our planet. And some species of fish are being depleted by over fishing. Their suggestion was to grant negative interest loans to hire all the 4.5 million fishing vessels on Earth to clean the world’s oceans and rivers for a year. All working together with weather scientists and their doppler radar, NASA and every organization with satellites, and every marine biologist on Earth to find the floating garbage, and radar and sonar to determine the extent of submerged garbage, and pollution on every beach from shore to shore, to the ocean’s depths.
The bigger fishing boats would remove tangles of nets, sea life, kelp and driftwood. The scientists would test the PH, microplastics and other pollution levels of every major current of water on the planet. Then all the world would sort the data together to direct boats with a loads of carefully balanced minerals and sand to disperse on their trip out to the gyres. The return trips to shore directed to multi-fuel garbage-to-energy plants or up-cycling plant to reclaim use once plastic into durable-use plastic products.
All fishing boats in the world working together to save the fish instead of fishing, giving the oceans and rivers of the world a break from capture fishing production for one year.
President Green and the delegate from India applauded the idea presented by the Chinese. And when the group connected with President Green and the AI-Critter a surprise message from the sentient Dog from a planet far, far away, met them.
They saw a lengthy, verbose and complex memory wave, a message like a virtual dream movie as an answer to how much the representative from the Dog planet liked their idea.
Decades ago, Lee the Dog had made a world map of possible areas to create in-land seas for carbon trapping. At the time U.G. at home on her little forested hill in Idaho had thought this was one of the craziest obsessions of the Dog from another planet. “How does creating in-land saltwater wetlands help save the oceans, hundreds of miles away?” The scope of the international project was insane from an Earthling’s point of view. “Besides a saltwater marsh would destroy an area of desert. The desert is an important ecosystem too.”
“Not in any random area of desert, that would be very dangerous if not contained. In-land seas in specific geological salt pans. Alkaline areas very difficult to support life, even dessert life. Geologic locations where there is already a giant mineral deposit because it used to be a sea or a giant lake hundreds of years ago or in some places, or has a lake now, like Salt Lake Utah. A very salty lake is there seasonally right now. I’m going to take a little trip. Would you like to go with me?”
Curiosity got the cat, and the Dog and Cat went. She hadn’t understood then in 1993, or there, teleported out into the middle of the blinding white glare of the Great Salt Lake State Park “nowhere” land.
Lee lifted his blue-grey furry arms and breathed deeply turning around slowly with his eyes shut as he said, “imagine if this shallow salt pan was filled to the upper water mark all year round. How that would affect the entire surrounding great basin.”
Back in 1993, even with her AI-Critter U.G. couldn’t envision what he was seeing, beyond the lake-effect rains and seasonal lake-effect snow. Salt Lake is not only an average of 4,200 feet/ 123 meters above sea level, it’s in the center of The Great Basin, no where near any ocean.
Decades later President Green returned to Lee’s in-land sea idea but focusing in on his notes for California to produce water for agriculture and prevent forest fires.
The project at the top of her list, that she didn’t know how to fund, was working with the California State Lands Commission to fill Owen’s Lake, and keep the dry lake bed full of water at a high enough level to completely stop it from being the largest source of carcinogenic dust pollution in the US.
The Chinese proposal of a World Bank Environmental Loan would be a perfect for funding large projects to mitigate the effects of climate change, like Owen’s Lake. They could up-cycle robot drilling equipment modified from oil drilling shale and tunneling machines designed for road and rail tunnels, repurposed to drill a filtered sea water aqueduct, that repurposed the old fresh water aqueducts in southern California.
Once the tunnel pipeline was completed it then would be cost effective to raise the levels in the connected chain of dessert lakes. Evaporation from the resulting salt marches would rain on the surrounding hills mitigating drought for agriculture and forests in the entire region, evaporation alone would naturally carry much needed water, well beyond the Great Basin and the acrid lakes of California.
When the drilling equipment and team completed the Owen’s Lake sea tunnel pipeline, they could keep going, start work on a smaller but no less impressive in-land sea project in the deep end of the figure 8 of Rodger’s Lake, South West of Edwards Air Force Base. The lake bed is unusually hard like a natural concrete or mineral stone. Agreeing with Lee’s plan for good food that didn’t deplete the Pacific Ocean. They would fill this dry lake with lightly filtered sea water (mostly to remove micro-plastic and balance the minerals).
The Air Force working with the Green Army could turn this entire five mile wide area into one of the largest inland seafood farms in North America. Lee’s plan included bringing in rocks and mulch, then plant rings of mandrakes and seagrass and then stock it seasonally with fish and shell fish.
Biologists would control the entire experiment, water temperature with NSRC (Night Sky Radiant Cooling) in the surrounding dessert and determine how much to feed the fish and when to harvest algae and shellfish.
The science of passive energy systems to maintain the health of an artificial ecosystem was complex. The goal was simple, to give the oceans a break from capture aquaculture by farming fish, shrimp, shellfish and algae — all the sustainable fish sandwiches, fish or shrimp tacos, steamer clams and fish & chips LA and the surrounding populations could eat.
Lee’s dream continued around the world in the pattern President Green had traveled on her world tour to promote climate change mitigating environmental ideas around the world — because the climate doesn’t stop at the boarder.
To President Green’s happy surprise China and India’s leaders got the message, and added aquaculture plans to Lee’s fish-pie-in-the-sky dreams.

This was too important to wait, the world under capitalism ravaging the planet for profit had already stalled for too long. A virtual meeting with every nation on Earth was called, caught in the whirl-wind of popular support after President U.G.’s world tour. A Vote of leaders was taken and approved in just under three weeks, 502 hours, for environmental loans to save the planet. By the fall of 2021 a new unique global bank would be created, A Global Bank completely separated from all former international banking, a bank that only processed environmental loans and nothing else.
— — — — — — — — — — -
During the Year of the Fish, starting Earth Day April 22, 2023 until the day after Earth Day April 23rd, 2024.” Every nation on Earth agreed to hire all fishing vessels in a coordinated effort to fish for trash instead of fish.
At the same time a massive shift to renewable or reusable packaging for everything would be happening on land. All packaging of every product on Earth would shift to plant cellulose, PBA reusable tubs, recyclable glass, and BPA free metal cans. Food distribution figuring out together how to flash freeze, or can food and goods without use-once throw-away plastic.
As relates specifically to water. From every individual person’s drinking water, to the giant international projects, environmental loans of all water processing could be negative interest, if they succeeded in improving the environment with their water processing investment. Instead of stealing limited, and increasingly valuable, fresh water from an increasingly warming and drying world, every inland city and every coastal town would have a local-water/mineral water bottling plant. Globally, not just in the US, water is too heavy, uses too much fuel to be shipped farther than 75 miles.
As the Chinese proposed, ‘The Year of the Fish’ was every seven years, for a thousand years or as long as it took for the world to mitigate human caused pollution and climate change damage. The environmental loans were also every seven years with an interest jubilee and renewal program based on the habitat restoration success or carbon footprint reducing scope of the projects.
An example of an international project that took way longer than seven years to complete, Baja California and Mexico worked together transforming the rift from the Salton Sea to the Bay of California into a massive blue carbon healthy bay with one of the most effective carbon sequestration channels in the world. To complete this massive goal, that would forever change the relationship with the US and Mexico for the better. Gradually, as the water level was raised, and the channel connecting the Salton Sea to the Bay was carved out over 850 thousand people needed to be moved to higher ground. But, nearly ten times the amount of people relocated had a new sustainable economy to participate in.
The Global Monetary Impact on the world economy of the ‘Year of the Fish’ was paradigm flipping. From the New Global Bank, no individual was allowed to make excessive profits, directly. As with all major grant programs, loans were to pay workers, cover overhead costs to source. The best engineer’s and scientific researchers were rewarded more projects and salaries that extended beyond ‘The Year of the Fish’, but there were no exorbitant bonuses or stock-holders to cash-in off of anyone else’s work. China promised to back US loans up to a balance of zero of the US to China trade deficit. And all the holders of the Unite States of America’s National Debt: Private US Holdings, Japan, China, UK and Ireland could leverage for environmental projects against the Global Environmental Loans to neutralize the US Nation Debt up to zero with negative interest loans. The same was true for any and all indebted nation who owed money in the old international banking system. All had to qualify with environmental projects and the rate of zero to negative interest was awarded by the environmental success of each project.
On every continent, in every ocean, and major river assessing the damage shore to shore. Sorting the data and doing the math, so much work to do to leave the world better than we found it for future generations, every fishing vessel, river boat and beach crew who participated benefited from valuing life on planet Earth with the perspective of billion of light years and nothing like our oceans, anywhere in the known universe.
