Jeff Bezos: The 'Good Old Days' Are an 'Illusion' for Planet Earth

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the world's wealthiest individuals, has a unique perspective on the state of the planet. In a recent interview, he stated that the "good old days" are an "illusion" when it comes to the natural world. Bezos believes that while many aspects of life have improved over the past 50 years, the environment has suffered significantly.

Bezos' recognition of environmental degradation has led him to invest in sustainability initiatives and space exploration through Blue Origin. He envisions utilizing space resources, such as "infinite energy, infinite raw materials," to address Earth's natural resource deficiencies. Bezos has stated that Blue Origin will eventually become "the best business I've ever been involved in, but it's going to take a while."
