I find it so funny that these plastic and credit score are a problem since like 50 years but somehow farming and civilization would be responsible for it. Like capitalism is the only outcome for civilization. It's scary how people are conditioned with this.

Some people believe technological advancement only has one single path. Innovation can only occur as a fixed formula where defined conditions must be met. For example, industrialization can only occur if coal and oil exists.

It's a very arrogant stance which assumes we know everything about the nature of the universe and what is, is all there could ever be.
