any system that relies on constantly rising consumption of resources (= growth) on a planet with finite resources is bound to fail at some point anyway. Perhaps it's time to think about better metrics? Yes, there can be growth without a rise in consumption of resources, but realistically, as people make more money, they will end up buying more stuff/ taking more flights etc.
