A more nature-based society will feature fewer people living closer to the land, with a throughput of energy and materials far smaller than is the case in industrialized nations today. We will be less urbanized, more rural.
Oh, that’s bad. Whenever you have people move out of cities and into nature, they build wide 1 story buildings, have lots of kids, cut down all the trees, and those kids grow up to build more 1 story buildings for their families.
We need people building tall structure in urban settings, so we can scale up without cutting down the trees in between our homes.

Yeah, this article is really fucking strange. I fully agree with the seeming goals - restore nature, reduce human footprint, smarter use of resources - all valid, noble, and needed. But some of the proposed methods are simultaneously counterproductive and scientifically ignorant. ‘Wind is intermittent so it can’t be used’ therefore we need ‘household bike generators’…

To my knowledge deforestation does not take place because people move out of cities and into nature.
