    Pass, I like being able to walk to the store and concerts and stuff. Maybe with the hydroponics and aeroponics boom everybody can just live in a city and leave nature alone?

      In theory cities are more efficient, than living off-grid, I agree.

      In reality though if you’re really careful and know what you’re doing (and are really disciplined and have educated yourself), you can live a true carbon neutral life.

      All the infrastructure in cities and everything around modern life is just destructive in so many ways unfortunately…

      And unfortunately the mass of people don’t care enough, to initiate the necessary systemic changes to make cities truly sustainable…

            Because he lived sustainably alone in the woods off of his own filtered piss and a snail filled garden. In the end he did all of that to get into the good place and still didn’t.

            It was analogous to the unreachable perfect standard of goodness.

              So you’re extrapolating from this single case? As I say, if you know what you’re doing it’s less effort than you think, you let nature do its thing for you and just nudge it in the right direction, so you just harvest the fruits. And yet again, just because that lifestyle isn’t for you it can still be for others…
