The future is bright | April 29 2023

Hello,

This week Michael Bloomberg billionaire founder of media, finance and data company Bloomberg, plans to leave his business empire to charity.

Bloomberg currently has a net worth of $94.5 Billion, according to Forbes. Remember it was estimated that it would take $130 Billion a year to end deforestation globally. If there is a will there's a way.

We got this. 💪
