The answer to this question is linked to the third development thinking blunder since 1987 "the going circular economic thinking to solve critical socio-environmental sustainability problems with solutions that do not match the sustainability nature of the problem. Keep the history of sustainable development(1987 to now) and of dwarf green market development(2012 to now) in mind.
What do you think?
The question is: Was or is the inefficient use of resources the root-cause of the pollution production problem associated with the working of traditional economies?
If you think the answer is yes, then why you think so? and what is the implication if this?
If you think the answer is no, the why you think so? and the implications of this?
Thank you for your question. I consider it necessary to provide an answer to this question based on my and my colleagues' research in 2024 (Tehran, Iran) and 2025 (Prairie Region, Canada):
In Tehran-Iran, the uneven distribution of population has significantly impacted the accessibility of road transport infrastructure. The central areas, with much higher population densities than the suburban districts, place excessive pressure on available resources. Rapid urbanization without proper infrastructure planning has intensified environmental challenges. Suburban areas, despite accommodating a growing population, lack sufficient facilities, forcing many residents to commute daily to central areas.(https://www.tmachineintelligence.ir/article_191514.html)
In Canada, factors such as heating demands during the cold season, agricultural activities, and emissions from the oil and gas industry have contributed to increased pollution exposure, particularly affecting indigenous communities, who make up approximately 40% of the population in the Prairie region.(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969725001263)
Amir, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Notice that this is a Yes or No question, with implications in terms of development thinking related to whether it is going in the right direction / growth of knowledge or going in the wrong direction / development thinking blunders in in the case of going circular economic thinking right now...

What do you think the answer is? Ye or no? Why?
