    Honestly, capitalism.

    The whole damn consume consume consume mindset. The idea that things are discarded instead of being repaired or properly recycled.

      I don’t know, there are progressive capitalist countries which do pretty well, especially in Europe. And there are nominally communist countries which have the number of new coal plants and poorest environmental records on the planet.

      saying “capitalism“ certainly does make people check out because that’s an irresolvable “problem”, compared to “See if you can start eating vegetarian one day a week and beef no more than once every two weeks”
