I mean, shrinking the population would absolutely help assuming that you shrunk it enough.
It's hard to destroy an environment when the destroyers dont exist.
It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit
Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they'll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.
We better make sure to completely eradicate all life on Earth down to the tiniest microbe just to be certain that life like us doesn't evolve again, I guess.
Sure, or we could just ban super yachts, private jets, cruise ships and empower those indigenous communities who have had such meaningful successes to spread their ideas and understanding so that we can begin to develop a sustainable culture, and we don’t need to kill half the worlds population.
¿por que no los dos?
Also, not half the population, more like 99.9% of it. Start with the richest first, and work your way down.
I mean, were you paying attention? The answer to why not is because it’s eco-fascist rhetoric and I’m not an eco-fash.
