In my opinion, and I know this is controversial, it is wrong. Of course it depends on your philosophy, but this is just mine.

I believe that we can't expect for humans to just exist without being productive and just being consumer and sustainable, for this Earth and the environment.



Most of what we do drains the earths resources. If a large portion of the population takes the easy route, they'll end up consuming less. Less consumption means longer lasting resources.

Part of the reason we're tapping out the earth is trying to keep up with everybody around us. If people can choose to live simply, they'll normalize a less consumer-driven lifestyle


Can you explain more about this?
