what if?

what if … in a UNESCO world heritage site? (Sundarbans, Bangladesh)

what if … in the Amazonian forests?

2014 2010 2000 Blue Dots = Slavery Red Dots = Murder Amazonia - slavery, murder, & deforestation

if slavery were a country/state: - population of Algeria/California - GDP of Bulgaria/Kansas

Carbon emission by country 1. China 7.03 billion tons 2. USA 5.46 billion tons 3. [Slavery] 2.54 billion tons

there are many ways out of slavery and many ways to save the environment and a lot of them are win/win

at $500 per freed slave, total cost is: $23 billion (annual global expenditure on submarines) (Airbus just sold 140 airplanes to China)

if ex-slaves replant forests they’ve been forced to destroy it could generate $ 27.9 billion in carbon credits - more than enough to end slavery- (and it’s already happening)
