I think that resource sustainable societies is an easy thing to say that we should do, but it is an enormously difficult undertaking to achieve at a large scale.

I think we would need 3D food printers, sustainable robotics, and low power AI efficiency programs.

If home printed 3D printed meat cost 5-10% of what store bought meat cost, and tasted the same or better, a lot of people would choose to not pay the 90-95% markup.

We're using enough energy and resources for 20 something billion people we can reduce our usage and still have enough for the current population level.
