Work is typically performed to achieve some end result. Either an outcome or a material gain.
Until relatively recently in human existence the work performed to derive the output was varied and specific to the desired outcome.
For example: I want to eat carrots. I plant carrots. I want a shed. I build a shed. etc.
Now all work passes through the same point. Perform professional duties. Collect money. Buy outcome.
I get that it's not efficient to do many of these things but from a human fulfillment perspective there's a lot to be gained by doing them yourself.
The Task: "Variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor."

Each household could feed a flock of 7 chickens with that household waste.

It seems very likely that the same structures that give modern high tech materials their unique abilities are the same ones that make them so environmentally unfriendly.
It was not too long ago that discussion of the lab leak hypothesis would be screamed down by either zealots taking orders from mainstream media or state agents of disinformation. Not that the difference matters.
