Industrial productivity comes at the cost of the environment.
There’s no industrial productivity that comes from sustainability. You can only harvest to exhaustion. And you can never give back any more than you take.

No mining but strip mining.
Even industrial pollution isn’t a new concern.
An unsolvable concern. Certainly not one that industrial recycling and waste mitigation can address.
