The places with the worst environments are 3rd world shitholes where people shit into the rivers they drink from, dump garbage everywhere and never clean anything. They are the places with the lowest IQ. The Detroit River is toxic because of the people who live there.

Of course corporations cause damage on an industrial scale. They also produce goods on an industrial scale. Having regulations to minimize corporate damage is good. And it is something that already exists. The extent to which those regulations are subverted is another symptom of the low general IQ which allows the public to be controlled and bamboozled into allowing that corruption.

Intelligent people FIX the environment. It is not a simple equation of more population = more environmental damage. Smart people can have a much higher population and not only not destroy the environment but make it better.

Haiti is an absolute wasteland because it is populated by low IQ Haitians. It would become a tropical paradise if it were populated by high IQ Haitians. Despite the fact that those high IQ Haitians would create all those corporations you hate. Even with increased consumption, and increased production, and factories and politicians it would be a paradise. While the factory free, low consumption hati of today is an absolute wasteland.

TL;DR The solution is in fact to raise IQs

Point conceded, but I've given up on that. I don't see how it could happen.

Why? It is certainly a lot more likely than getting rid of CEOs and politicians.

Yep, in Thailand they have little shrines outside every house for the earth spirits and gods.

Everyday they put a plastic bottle of water and a plastic bottle of milk on this shrine with a plastic straw, because god needs a straw for some reason.

Then everyday yesterday's goes in the bin, or elsewhere, because God needs the best fresh stuff.

Millions of families doing this.

Then down on the coast the Thai people are like "Why is so much plastic waste washing up on our beaches, we must be just unlucky with the currents."
