If you want to find something positive from this there is plenty of work for designers to do in order to make better products...
Maybe far in the future - if we get there - there will be industrialized economy which perfectly integrates to ecological environment. If fusion reactor could be invented there could be plenty of free energy which production won't pollute environment and nanotechnology which enables us to create production which is perfectly clean as no atom left behind...
Lets live in hope. But it may take a while before problems of our modern production will be solved. As long as money only is only target of the production there won't be ecological production. We need better values perhaps moneyless economy. This sounds good only to a small number of people. Usually people only want to be rich...as long as this is only value in life nobody cares about environment.
