Today the environmental movement has become opposed to issues of justice. You can see this in the way issues are framed. It’s a permanent replay of jobs-versus-the-environment, in nature-versus-bread. These are extremely artificial dichotomies Picture Quote #1

All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people Picture Quote #1
