My personal opinion is that the only way to really save the environment
and live in harmony with it is to stop population growth. There are too
many people living on this planet sucking the life out of it.
Unfortunately our economic system depends on growth and expansion. We
bank on that premise.

A super-excellent point.
Our economies, by mere dint of the demand that they constantly grow and
expand, makes them *by definition* ponzi schemes.
The words "equilibrium" or "sustainable" or "steady state" -- or, in
thermodynamic parlance, "reversible" -- are sacriligious concepts today.

Why? Because the puppeteers of the world just make mo' money, mo' money,
and mo' money off the resulting ponzi frenzy.

Exactly.
