Marx and Marxists have pretty good analyses of how capitalism
negatively impacts the environment, but, on this question, Marxism as
such probably cannot offer any solution, and records of state
socialist industrialization are no better than capitalist
industrialization.  We have to either accept the prices of
industrialization, spread its costs and benefits more equitably, and
try to prevent the biggest problems like climate change from becoming
uncontrollable, or change our ways of life, or most likely both.  The
problem is that it's not likely to be a very popular proposal,
whichever way.  :->
