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...
Reminds me of that guy from the Good Place who ran a snail rehab.
And that is relevant how? I don't say that it's a lifestyle for the average person, definitely not.
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...
I'm not extrapolating, this isn't data, it's fiction lmao
So in other words you're trolling and don't care about being right or wrong...
You said a thing and I said it reminded me of some other thing. What's to be right or wrong about? That I was reminded of a thing, is your stance that I was not in fact reminded of that thing? I feel like you're going to lose that argument.
I'll make it simple, as I don't care about losing "that argument": Don't feed the troll
I don't condone starving yourself, have a good day.
