-I don’t think we need people to stop having babies.
-moving around. The automobile is awful. We could have much more developed transit that is free. We can also abolish suburbs and make communities that are walkable, transit friendly.
-consumption. Hmm I’d have to think more about that. Except one thing I’m thinking about is that our personal consumption is impacted heavily by auto lobby, oil and gas lobby, meat and agriculture lobby etc.
Individual choices are not the main driver of climate change. We aren’t going to paper straw our way out of this.
-pollution and emissions. Capitalism is a huge driver of this. Think about all our food waste. Or that we ship peaches to be processed in one country, to another to be canned and then back out to distributed markets.
-then you have the consideration of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism, and that military is one of the largest polluters.
Can go on and on, commodification of housing, commodification of water and other natural resources. I’m in an all day meeting, so will have to keep thinking about this.
