So, the author's preferred solution apparently involves completely overhauling our society, down to the mindsets and living conditions of every single person. (Note that this would goes beyond even the usual canard of "overthrowing capitalism"; socialist countries have historically polluted just as bad, or worse.)

If that's the best alternative, I say we keep shoveling money at Big Tech's waste management ideas; maybe some of them might actually pay off.
