credit to you for this part if I remember right:

Our garbage gets trucked away to be disposed of somewhere out of our immediate sight, and our human waste is flushed down pipes. We don’t fully know where it goes, what it affects, what place it has in our ecosystem.

Yeah for me the alienation from our resources and our waste is the key element to the critique of cities and agriculture, i spoke about it earlier today:

The most substantial and important difference here is that it's only at the point that we have civilisation that structural oppression may combine with a growth orientation.
It's only once we have cities and so alienation from our resources and our waste that we gain the tendency to expand unchecked, requiring more agriculture and more resource extraction and more waste sites as we expand unaware and unconnected to the consequences of that. Each of these requirements require more land, expansion, colonisation, and the further entrenching of a relation to the nonhuman world as something simply to be used.
