If I were still blogging at “Ancient Bodies, Ancient Lives” I’d be discussing this story. How exactly does the causal chain work here? When we talk about environmental effects that contribute to human actions, that shape them, we often (not always) talk as if it’s a direct push. That’s…unlikely. 1/

History shows missed opportunities for eco-friendlier industrialization: smaller scale, local control vs. concentrated power & colonialism. 🏭 Post-colonial India/China prioritized haste over environment, leading to "environmental recklessness." ⏳ #EcoHistory #Development
