Agree with you about waste Don, but surely even you must admit rthat waste is openly encouraged by Capitalism.
(Supermarket offers....the throwaway society .....chinese imports.)
Buy , buy, buy.
Capitalism also needs large centres of population, to produce the junk and to consume the junk

But thats only a couple of facets. Teribus accuses me of negativity, but I honestly see nothing in this system to be optimistic about
