what if?
what if …
in a UNESCO world heritage site? (Sundarbans, Bangladesh)
what if … in the Amazonian forests?
Amazonia - slavery, murder, & deforestation

Blue Dots = Slavery Red Dots = Murder
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)
