      Yup, the rubber tree shortage. The ENTIRE modern world relies on this one renewable resource, and its in critical decline. We harvest them faster than we can plant to grow :)

      A ring called ‘irreversible and catastrophic environmental damage’.

      (Not just climate change, either – though that’s a big part of it. Also everything from microplastics to overfishing.)
