So you’re saying our economy is a pyramid scheme based on a flawed system?
It’s basically exactly what you said.
Let’s depopulate the planet and rebuild the economy to healthy and sustainable levels!
I like your thinking.
You think consuming less would stop the economy dead in it's tracks. And ... Is that a bad thing? As we know, "economy" means "rich people's yachts".
And just as obviously, reducing consumption is not binary. There's no way to go to zero, nor would anyone seriously propose it. But anyway, with an increasing population and limited global resources, it's inevitable that people will have to reduce at some point, so the disaster you hypothesize would strike us anyway. And in that case, gradual change now is better than catastrophic change later.
Reusing? I thought we were talking about reducing. And I don't think anyone is talking about reversing.
