Well knew we were fucked, but this whole new level of fucked. There will be nk salvation for us humans.
I guess one of the upsides of Limits to Growth is that if industrial production drops 50% in the next 10 years then the production of plastic pollution at least should fall too (unless I misunderstand things)
