I’d like to think so hah, but I’m not 100% either. It seems it would be easier to integrate the true (or close) environmental cost so there is a negative profit impact, instead of twisting people/countries to do the right thing. Because right now we basically incentivize environmental destruction because it’s cheaper in an economic sense.

I agree with you that capitalism is the origin of many of these problems, though. Doesn’t mean it can’t evolve.

The non-capitalist systems didn't fare much better. The Soviet Union was largely responsible for exterminating whales, without even getting much use from them: https://psmag.com/social-justice/the-senseless-environment-c...
