That looks more like the environmental effects of a communist regime than it does a predominately capitalist one. In a profit driven system it costs money to waste resources. In a totally statist central planning regime natural resources, and people, become the eggs you have to break to "make an omelet". Also the wealth created by the free market frees people up from subsistence living and allows them the relative luxury to care, and to spend, on protecting the environment.
