from one perspective what is the issue is the model for consumerism doesnt compat with this fact of population growth and the conglomerati doesnt know how to cope. e, we need things that last but that would require such to be cool to do so. so art, culture would reinforce things like 1,000 year old trash incinerators that power water treatment plants that dont break,, etc.. it isnt peoples fault that they are multiplying as much as it is consumer culture. and even more poor want cellphones and handouts also, humans get from the sea-area oil, fish, etc and also use it as a trash so there is this resource too.
