One of the things I like to do when half in the bag in a bar and blagging to a new friend is to say, "Look - pick a direction - any direction - and tell me what you see." And what they see is plastic and metal and bar bottles with paint on them and more plastic and all the detritus of human society. And every piece of it, as far as the eye can see!, will be garbage in 6 months to 20 years and sit on the ground and leech poisons into the Earth and nothing will grow from it. Every. Single. Piece. We, as human beans, have broken the cycle of life and death where something grows, flowers, dies, rots and something else grows and flowers. This idea that we can make a new shiny thing that will become more garbage to fix all our problems so we can keep eating more isn't going to change that. The solution is that we simply have to do with less. And people will kill each other before they admit that. It's already starting to happen now.
