    TBF if everyone ate locally raised grass fed beef that would kill the planet at an even faster rate. In the frontier days people sustained on Pigs which they would let roam wild and devour everything they came across, and then stored their meat in barrels of salt.

    If every community supplied their own power and lighting such as oil lamps and furnaces, it would be worse.

    If every community made their own plastics and devices instead of sophisticated centralized productions with higher efficiency and minimal material cost, that would be worse for the planet.

    Capitalism is not inherently worse for the planet, nor better really. Extreme and polar distribution methods don’t change demand only processes and supply.
