Personally, I love birds and animals and natural ecosystems, which is why I can never love technology: the two are at odds and technology has been more destructive to them than anything else.

"Personally, I love birds and animals and natural ecosystems"

Me too, but I also love technology and see no fundamental problem between the two.

So no, I do not love pesticides or the toxic waste of conventional mining. But I would love a smart robot working the fields with no need for toxic chemicals. And mining can also be done in a non toxic way. It is just more expensive with current tech.

So far, there is no evidence that mining could ever be done in a sustainable way, nor have we any evidence that advanced technology could be sustainable. Since the industrial revolution, it has not been and we have made no significant steps to change it.
