"This might come as a surprise: most clothes (65%) are made from plastic" (e.g., polyester) https://alexcrane.co/en-gb/pages/sustainability
As industries continue to produce more (fossil fuel based) plastic, that means more plastic pollution. Recycling plastic simply isn't good enough, because eventually, the plastic will degrade, breakup into tiny pieces, etc, and end up polluting the natural environment.
There are a few brands that are dedicated to using biodegradable materials.

One home policy
A one home only policy, whilst obviously fair, just & easy to implement, isn't popular amongst some of the rich (the greedy ones)
However, in many places, in the #UK for example, there is a housing shortage, & folk that own two or more homes are by no means a majority. Therefore, democratically, l'm confident the majority of people, those that have one home or are homeless, agree with me.

The Snow Piercer #TV series is basically about how the rich screwed up the Planet's #climate, & the class conflict thereafter (the survivors are on a train)
Sounds topical.
Class conflict is the biggest dividing social phenomena of our times. "Class" is do with luck & circumstances. "Class" is about the haves & have nots. The "rich" & the "poor". The rulers & those that don't want to be ruled over.
"class" is a social construct. That means we can have policies that mitigate it.

It seems you're trying hard to belittle Sam's reputation. Regardless of your personal beliefs, the podcast episode is about consciousness.
Sam has many "making sense" podcast episodes. You won't find any indication of him being racist, or sexist, in any of them (not that l think you actually listen to them)

Anyone whom regularly listens to Sam Harris, will know that he, like me, is anti-sexism & anti-racism. In other words, for equal treatment, opportunity
Although, I wouldn't say l agree with everything Sam Harris says
Can you provide any evidence that Sam Harris advocated preemptive nuclear strikes? Evidence, would be his writing, podcasts, etc. Not simply a clipped video__some dopes intentionally try to slander people. Others, they just can't help but to spread idol gossip.
