    This is what I have been saying. Only way to achieve clean environmental standards would be to go back prior to industrial revolution. We would need to use horse and buggy, no electrical grids and farm to table. If you are willing to do that then earth will benefit.

      If we did that, there would be widespread famines, social unrest, and we would eat every wild animal, chop down every forest, and strip bare every fruit tree before enough of us died to regain an environmental equilibrium. Humanity doing well is a slow ecological disaster. Humanity doing poorly would be a fast one.
