The levels of waste that we produce in a free market system are by no means the natural outcome of some organic process. They're the product of choices that have been made by manufacturers to boost consumption and to boost profits. In terms of these flows, you don't have consumption if you don't have wasting. You don't have expanding markets if you don't have increasing levels of consumption. So, in order to have continued intensified growth, you have to have continued, intensified wasting.
