This is complete bogus because it frames 'rampant consumerism' in the frame of '20th century rampant consumerism' without giving thought to consuming sustainable products. It is possible to produce every single product that does not burn hydrocarbons in a completely carbon and waste neutral manner. So why don't we focus on producing enormous quanities of goods in a sustainable way? That's the real task. The way OP thinks is the same way of thinking that leads to 'overpopuplation is a problem' conclusions; We can fit enormous numbers of humans on the planet, we just need to engineer our living environments to be completely neutral to the environment. And that's not impossible. So what is the big idea with trying to get people to stop using products?
