If it can get the necessary funds, that is. In a press release, the organization claimed that eliminating the patch once and for all would cost a whopping $7.5 billion

And good luck with that, won't happen, ever.

It's the cost of one or two huge stadiums, but politicians rather have large stadiums than wasting their hard earned cash on shit like the future of the planet

You can put a plaque on a stadium. Bit hard on water.

$7.5 bil is nothing. The Pentagon has literally lost (like actually lost track of) many times that

Just the idea that it's possible gives me hope.
