Many cities are developing local plans based on the Earth Summit’s Agenda 21, including every single one of Sweden’s 288 municipal governments.

Agenda 21 has now been superceded ( tho the principles remain the same )

Wringingof hands and wailing won't change things.....people will and are making changes toward sustainable civ.

Again even a few people can destroy an ecosystem ....you would need to drop to hunter gatherer status and life span snd even they were hard on ecosystems.

We have the technology to do sustainable and efforts here and there are making progress. Taking pressure off wild fish stocks is a major challenge and being met sort of by sustainable fish farming ( lots of lessons learned there ).
This is an eye opener
