Donating to charity is not impressive if you're still rich after you donate. Me giving $20 to a homeless person is a bigger blow to my personal wellbeing than this guy's "donation".
Heads up: You probably mean he is "flouting" those rules, not "flaunting." Different word.
“flouting” the rules actually.
Loosely:
Flaunting: ostentatiously displaying
Flouting: ostentatiously defying
I'm sure the entire Chilean military base with all the fuel they burn there and garbage they produce is built there specifically to protect Antarctic nature from occasional idiots in small planes.
He obviously can afford it, like the Chilean government could afford to put unnecessary military base there. Somehow when some government is stupidly splurging it's good and fine because they do it in accordance with rules, that they written themselves.
Its mostly there because it includes Chile’s main scientific/meteorological research station in Antarctica and the airfield providing for personnel and supply transport for both that station and the nearby stations of other countries.
In regards to "rules they wrote themselves": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_on_Environmental_Prot...
