The question for me is how a world *with* industry will be able to sustain any kind of life at all! Additionally, I see this as, ideally, a long-term process of withdrawal from industrialism. The people currently populating the world will all be dead in 100 years or so and we tend to auto-regulate reproduction in response to circumstance. Population levels have been deliberately increased under industrialism for the interests of production, consumption and profit. Without that interference, we would better adapt ourselves to the capacity of Mother Earth to nourish us.

Yikes, that sounds awfully similar to what this guy is saying. You may not have meant it to be the case but it definitely is!

No, humanity is not the enemy. Industrialism is the enemy of humanity and the natural world to which we belong.
