And, it doesn’t seem clear that democracy can save it either.
The incessant channeling of natural resources for the primary purpose of pure consumption is literally changing our collective ecosystems. Just because we have air-conditioning, live indoors, and don't it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Not to mention drought, carbon-emissions, etc.
If we mow down the world, and pave it over, just so that we can have new living spaces…what on earth did we think is going to happen?
How many more signs does nature need to give us that what we are doing is unsustainable?
Maybe there is more unsustainability involved than we realize — it appears the factors involved aren't all just external either.
Will we continue to consume almost anything (and everything); just because we can, just because someone will sell it to us?
