Let Entrepreneurial Disruptive Industry Predators Feast On Invasive Species Populations
Entrepreneurs sure get a lot of flak from left-leaning folks about how they will do anything for money.
But this misses the point completely because entrepreneurs only produce things they can sell, thus only things people want and only at a price point they will buy.
We should thus, do more enlistment of entrepreneurs to solve the world's problems.
Yes, I think you agree so, let's talk shall we? There was an intriguing article in the Wall Street Journal on August 4, 2013 titled; "In Oregon's War Against Invasive Species, All Is Fare - Environmentalists Encourage Locavors to Dine on Destructive Flora and Fauna; A Cook-Off with Feral Boar and Dandelion Weeds," by Joel Millman.
Now then, at first glance you may think these folks are quite clever in eating the invasive species, but that concept has been around as long as Humans have been collecting gatherings and hunting whatever is available to eat to feed that expensive brain of ours - it needs a ton of calories, and must get creative if it cares to feed it.
If one species is eating up the food supply in the human realm of the food chain, then it's time to get busy.
In Lake Michigan they are eating the Chinese Carp.
In Africa after the Locust plagues the locals eaten out of house and home feast on the high-protein enriched locust, they fry them cook them, baste them, and eat them up: Yum.
Okay so, what I am saying here is I don't find the Oregon Environmentalists as clever as they'd like us to believe, in fact, many of these folks are anti-free-markets, so it is rather interesting that they use a play out of the entrepreneur's playbook to rid themselves of the invasive species problems.
One could say that there is no more invasive species in industry or society than the entrepreneur - the humans that just see things differently and see every challenge or problem as an opportunity - let's eat! When you have left overs in the environment or from a factory - that is expensive, to compensate for that an entrepreneur finds an alternative use for the waste.
We do it all the time, consider oil refining, consider swine livestock, these days nothing goes to waste, everything is sold off to others who have needs - other manufacturers might need the extra chemicals for plastics, or might need the hides for making other materials for other products, why not?
