This is stuff that gets talked about a lot in Doughnut Economics. Its not just carbon being spewed in the atmosphere its precious metal extraction, land use, biodiversity loss, fresh water withdraws. Our entire economic system is built to extract and waste for profit. What we are going to need going forward is an economic system that takes into account the planets natural limits while still being able to produce the goods and services we need to have a healthy and sustainable way of life.

You touch upon it, but never actually say it outright. We MUST stop our current lifestyles and expectations of being able to maintain and/or “increase” them. It needs to be said openly and often, while also looking at ways of downsizing our expectations from quantity to quality.
