This fear seems to be rooted in the idea that sustainability is about substitutions. The pursuit of sustainability shouldn't be to find a 'green' way to destroy ecosystems – yes I'm going to poison you, but don't worry, the poison is organic – it should be about finding a way to live as part of a healthy, regenerative ecosystem.
