28. Green consumption remains consumption

We need to pause. But we can't pause. Economies, jobs, financial systems would crash. Even as we build alternative energy, it still take resources and energy to build that infrastructure.

It would be like trying to remove mold from deep inside wood fibers. Or stop cancer in its tracks.

Solar energy was going to solve everything. Information superhighway was going to end commuting and enable cocooning. Sustainability was the goal. Developed countries are not sustainable. Developing countries want to consume like the developed world. Is 1% of the world's population sustainable? Minimalism can't be sold to humans. We grow.

So yeah I understand what you're saying.
