"While yachts and jets marked the status of last century's super rich, today the stylish accessory for millionaires is their very own ecosystem."

I love that kind of thought, why brag to your rich friends about trivial material possessions when you can brag about being greener than Kermit the Frog.

I understand the purpose which is respectable but it doesn't make me at ease at all because of this idea of privacy from wealth, it doesn't garantee they will stay their property. I would rather trust more city, regional or state parks politics.
