In what ways did Nazi Germany attempt to protect the environment and reduce the impact of human activity? Are there any areas in which they could have made their activities "greener"? Here are some ideas I've thought of, I'm interested in what your ideas are as well.
Environmental initiatives:
They made synthetic oil from coal using the Fischer-Tropsch process and even experimented with some biofuels.
The Nazis recycled Europe's surplus Jews and used their parts to make useful items like soap and lampshades.
Environmental oversights:
Although the "final solution" was necessary for the security and prosperity of Europe, the incinerators used to destroy Jew corpses contributed to global warming. This problem could be overcome through carbon sequestration or by purchasing carbon credits to offset the emissions created by burning Jews.
