You call it treehugger, I and most of the scientific community call it science and basic rules like matter not being able to be created nor destroyed.

Recycling is the only way a community in space could survive, you let any matter go, you use something that can't be easily recycled, you use a nonrenewable fuel...

You won't be able to survive. It's not like on earth. You are literally sealed in a airtight city with nothing around it.

We are already 25% above earths carrying capacity and the renewal rate of resources.


If all people lived like the average American for one year it would require the resources of 4 earths.

It's possible with our resources and technology to make this possible.. But the amount it would take, the economy, the amount of ravaging we would need to do to get the resources.. And the fact it could only support the population of new York...
