The problem is that we're wringing our hands over prices rising due to taking the environment into account, we do not wring our hands much when prices rise to fatten up the paydays for elite classes. Food scarcity is already an issue, and excess at the top, is already an issue. A lot of the economy is based on things being disposable, even in some cases to the point of humans being disposable objects(factory towns, sweatshops, "essential workers"). We'll eventually need to come to terms with ways to handle environmental damage better, and not in a passive way that just socializes that debt and damage onto the poor and the future generations, like we're doing now. The endless consumption/growth economy needs to evolve into a sustainable economy. Obviously there are entrenched interests that want to maintain the status quo until the world is on fire.
