The Link Between Economic Growth and Degradation of the Planet

In economic parlance, caring about nature is what we call a luxury good. As societies get richer, they put more emphasis on preserving nature and their own health. Indigenous communities have lived for thousands of years in harmony with nature. There's not any question that if you organize society like the Indigenous societies organized, it will be better for the planet. But at the same time, I think we're facing this reality that we have eight billion people on the planet.
