Hell, Indias full of litter heaps everywhere, mountains of manufactured garbage. Private art is relatively harmless, personal pieces, but when it crosses into the public sector, mass production, it needs restrictions that don't waste our finite resources. Inventors need to convince "us" that what they are offering is worth producing, not that it will fatten someone's pocketbook, but it will streamline what already exists by taking less time, using less resources, for a greater efficiency and usefulness.
Oh in that case I didn't understand you, and am inclined to agree.
Yes, we're in the middle of an ecological crisis, the likes humanity has never before seen, and we're the sole or primary cause.
The vast majority of remaining wildlife must be protected.
Since there are far too many producers and very little left of nature we should be permitted to cultivate, yes, when it comes to mass production, you should have to prove to the state, which in a democracy is all of us, you're producing things people actually need, or at the very least aren't harmful to society.
Corporations should have to get in line, for the permission to mass produce things.
The ones who're producing total garbage, should get to the back of the line, or be kicked out of the line altogether, agreed.
I mean really I hate to do it, part of me wishes we could have the freedom of choice to consume whatever we want, but we can't, not anymore, thousands of species have perished and thousands of more will including ours, we no longer have the luxury, ecological conerns now surpass all others.
We need a brand new system, this one was designed when humanity was on an upswing.
We're on a downswing now, and we only have two options, decline gracefully, gradually, wisely, or suddenly, foolishly, and be destroyed, economic growth/ecological ruin is no longer an option.
