I think as a developer I am attuned to this most acutely. I see garbage ok the street or read about Amazon's new warehouse and think, "yeah, we may have 500 years to store our garbage, but then what?" When gas prices go down I think "past peak oil, we are just accelerating running out". Or when I read about overfishing, etc I think how we could irreparably disrupt ecosystems with a cascading effect.

But then I think how big this planet is and how ingenuous humans are collectively, and wonder - am I overworrying? I see small waste accumulatung but in scandinavia they're discovering ways to recycle garbage into resources!

So, I don't know. Thoughts?
