What is the suggested alternative to a market economy? Command economies aren't what I would consider better for the globe. Energy intensity per unit of labor is almost universally lower in market economies than it is in command economies.

A market economy would be fine if it's impact on the ecology was priced in.

There is no alternative unless we magically have free energy. The only way out of this is to colonize the solar system, galaxy. At that point the Earth's status as a habitable planet will hardly matter.
