While all human cultures and ideologies could very well have pollution at their core

Go look up the word "midden" and get back to me.

Yes, if you are looking at all forms of pollution, you are indeed correct, as all life forms have to excrete waste. An extreme example of this is cyanobacteria likely causing a mass extinction.

However, I was referring to air particulate pollution, as shown by my source. I apologize for not being clearer. I have updated the original comment, but yes, you are indeed correct that all human cultures and ideologies have pollution at their core if you are looking at pollution in general.

I'm not sure the distinction is worth mentioning. If you want to limit to air pollution, that only absolves those cultures which haven't reached an industrial age. Any that has, pollutes the air.

Maybe it's time to switch back to your No-True-Communism fallacy or something.

Renewable energy has little to no pollution. EDIT: Excluding biofuel which is not a solution to pollution or climate change.
