We live on a planet that has always been the same size, but our cities have not, our use of the atmosphere has not, and so the planet is being overwhelmed by human termites. Capitalism is premised on the idea of infinite growth. That doesn't work in the giant terrarium we live in. Go into just about any public space and it will be posted on the wall how many people can occupy the space. Perhaps we need a sign on the planet that says how many people it can hold comfortably. Sadly we have long past the comfortable level.
