Political Memes

Pretty sure humans rather than greed are the problem & ending humans would end all sustainability problems on the planet.

Societies that have tried to eliminate the profit motive/greed have spoiled the planet worse. Consider the USSR: compared to the US, a better environmental record might be expected due to their command economy. To the contrary

Total emissions in the USSR in 1988 were about 79% of the US total. Considering that the Soviet GNP was only some 54% of that of the USA, this means that the Soviet Union generated 1.5 times more pollution than the USA per unit of GNP.

Their planners considered pollution control

unnecessary hindrance to economic development and industrialization

and

By the 1990s, 40% of Russia's territory began demonstrating symptoms of significant ecological stress, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste.

And this generously glosses over the extent of water contamination, hazardous dumping of toxic & nuclear waste into oceans, etc.

Humans are the problem despite efforts to eliminate greed. The other species on the planet deserve better.
