Can I support your public work?

I do not engage in commercial activity, carry advertising, or sell anything. All my work is independent of government, political organizations, and business — this is a matter of principle for me. As a writer, I write books, have spent many years researching environmental problems, and tell people about them. I also publish my books openly and make them available free of charge to all readers: my work is for the benefit of society. The only way to support me is through voluntary donations from people who believe my work is necessary and important. I do not organize targeted fundraisers, set fundraising goals, or collect money to carry out specific projects or events. All support is given entirely at the donor’s discretion and helps sustain my independent public, research, environmental, and literary work as a whole. All donations are voluntary monetary gifts from individuals, given without anything in return. They are not payment for goods or services: nothing is provided in exchange and no reciprocal obligations arise. Donations do not entitle anyone to demand particular actions, influence my work, or direct how the funds are used. Support is provided through specialized donation services in accordance with their current rules and terms. People simply give me the opportunity to continue my work, launch new projects, write books about the destruction of nature, and change the world for the better. I independently determine the direction of my work, do not undertake obligations to carry out specific initiatives, and do not guarantee particular results. Voluntary donations are a widely used way to support independent authors, researchers, and public advocates around the world. If you choose to support me, perhaps it will be thanks to you that I can make a greater difference, bring my boldest projects to life, and eventually undertake major international projects as well.
