do you think it is fair to attribute harm of the environment to capitalism as opposed to other economic systems

No, as the market mechanisms under capitalism do not provide incentives for preserving the environment. Firms are constantly threatened by market competition to cut costs and optimize profit. The environment thus falls pray to the compulsive market behaviour of the capitalist mode of production.
