Would anti-pollution laws help or hurt CPAN?
Well, we might go and do that. We could go and seize control of what we think is the worst problem, and make laws that restrict it. We could make targets about how much pollution we weren't going to make, and when.
Then we could find that 400 years later we've got a global green age anyway because the planet has a 1500 year weather variation and that the form of pollution we chose to restrict was not actually part of the problem.
Maybe the process of polluting itself needed to be addressed. And I'd say in the context of coding that's a very contemplative / introspective thing.
