Would you accept 0 pollution if it meant you had no electricity, electronic devices, or access to transportation? All of those things create pollution.

That's the great thing about "invention", there are other ways to 0 pollution besides historic ones.

Worse than that, actually: to get to 0 pollution by only deleting things, you'd also need to remove one of the main sources of pollution in third world countries: cooking with fire.

Invention has already given us renewable electricity, and using that to cook is much better than inhaling wood smoke.

Embrace of bleeding edge tech isn't universal, hell even the embrace of the past 100 years of tech isn't for every human.
