I think the warning is about the danger that we will bring the harmful things and habits to the remaining natural spaces on earth and pollute those too. I imagine we need to go through some kind of transformation first, so that we free ourselves from that mindframe before we can interact healthily in the countryside. Maybe intermediate steps, such as a village or town might be necessary?
But it does leave some questions, for example: what about those of us who grew up in the countryside. Do we get to stay (or return) t/here?I also see a big difference between living in the countryside of a highly developed country where the countryside is already covered in houses (UK and Ireland for example), vs. going to live in the actual forest in Siberia or Canada and cutting it down ruthlessly so that you can build yourself your cabin and whatnot.
