This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

The republicans could fix this at any time. But will they? Nahhhh.
This is why people have to come up with their own local solutions in their communities instead. Unfortunately, the it also seems that the Democrats aren't really stepping up to the table either. At least, that's how it looks to me from here, your Northern neighbour.
It's illegal to implement solutions, smaller homes, gardens, composting toilets , groups of people living together densely in communitarian situations, chickens , rain water catchment, reed bed sewer systems , earthworks , self installed solar , etc.... almost all those things are illegal in first world countries .
Until people get the collective will to change the law , sustainability wil be something done by outlaws whose lives occasionally get destroyed when the crackdowns happen.
