LOS ANGELES: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has a plan to save our planet: Pack up all those polluting factories, and relocate them to the moon. "We need to move heavy industry off Earth," Bezos said at an Amazon event this summer. "Earth will be zoned residential and light industry."

The world's richest man has poured billions of dollars into his own rocket company Blue Origin to further those goals. His mantra: "The reason we go to space is to save the earth."
