Good Idea: Cheap Medicine 😡

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/jul/23/hiv-aids-prevention-vaccine-lenacapavir-sunlenca-pharmaceuticals-gilead-generic-licensing

A new HIV drug called lenacapavir could potentially cost just $40 a year for each patient if produced as a generic, which is vastly cheaper than its current price of $42,250. This injectable drug, administered every six months, has shown 100% effectiveness in preventing HIV in trials. Campaigners are urging the pharmaceutical company Gilead to allow the production of low-cost generic versions, especially in low- and middle-income countries, which are most affected by HIV. If made widely available, this drug could be a game-changer in the fight against HIV.


India has done it before and sold 1000$ vials for 3$:

And they ensured that this should not change so fast as everyone has the right to affordable medicine:

Good Idea: Natural Reforestation

https://www.conservation.org/press-releases/2024/07/24/new-research-reforestation-is-more-cost-effective-than-previously-understood-study-compares-reforestation-methods

A new study found that reforestation is much cheaper and more effective at removing carbon from the air than we thought, especially if we let forests grow back naturally. This method can capture more carbon for less money in almost half of all suitable areas. By mixing natural regrowth with traditional tree-planting, we can boost carbon removal by about 40%, helping us tackle climate change more effectively and affordably.

“The opportunity for low-cost reforestation appears much more plentiful than previously thought; this suggests reforestation projects are worth a second look by communities that might have prejudged them to be cost prohibitive,” said Busch. “While reforestation can’t be the only solution to climate change, our findings suggest it should be a bigger piece of the puzzle than previously thought.”
