You're serious, aren't you. Wow.
Well, maybe in certain environments, mud huts are good houses. Maybe it's because mud is what they can afford. (no credit cards)

The so called sustainable life lived by these tribes, if extended to the rest of the world would result in a calamity of sludge and pollution and lack of food that would result in starving most of the current population.

Again, are you really serious about this statement? Good grief, yes, you are exactly correct. If you took the population of the world exactly as it is, and had some way to remove all electricity and fuel besides natural, collectible fuel (wood, dung, peat moss, etc...) from the world, it would quickly result in chaos and after we got done killing each other, lots of folks would starve to death. There would also be horrible pollution from human waste. In that highly unlikely scenario, you are exactly correct.
Of course, if we had never developed electricity or discovered and refined fossil fuels, I doubt we'd have cities like New York, LA, Tokyo, London in their current form, we also wouldn't have the population per area concentrations that we do these days, so if we had always lived these sustainable lifestyles, the world in some ways would be a much cleaner place with more remaining natural resources. We'd probably have a lot fewer people running around too. Basically, the world would be a radically different place than it is today, and your point would be moot.
You may as well pose another silly question for us thinking that you'll sound really impressive, "if all the metal in the world turned to jello, the world would collapse and there would be anarchy" It makes as much sense as your above assertion.
