Everything boils down to these two things: Laziness(masqueraded as "convenience") and Greed.
All the 6 points you listed above stem from these two factors.
People started becoming lazy and evolved the idea of mass production, which in turn forced the producers, due to greed, to instigate people for mass consumption.
We need to tweak globalisation a bit to improve the situation. Globalisation is good for many things, but not for every thing.
First, start with food and clothing. People should grow and consume as much local food as possible. The same goes for clothing. That way we won't have this problem of excesses and harm to the environment.
Next, reduce reliance on private transport. Use as much public transport as possible or walk if the distance is not that far. This will help reduce dependence on fossil fuel for which young blood is spilled on the battle grounds and shores afar.
If we do these two things, we will see a massive change for the better.

A lot of tech is needed to make enough food for people. >People should grow and consume as much local food as possible. Also known as lower standard of living - people don't want that. Large scale food production has made cost of food go from ~40% of family budget (around 1900) to 10%. It has also widened diets allowing lots of variety that people also choose. Also large scale food production has increased yields incredibly, without which many people on the planet now would starve. >help reduce dependence on fossil fuel Those same fossil fuels provide modern medicine (and a host of other modern benefits), which again I think people like to have.
