Hedonism isn't necessarily the enemy, as one can take hedonistic enjoyment from low-impact activities. And indeed many common pastimes are already in that category. Your point about realization is key, I think. The awareness of the consequences of various activities and choices. Which somewhat relies upon translating those consequences into metrics that ordinary people can easily grasp. For example, in some countries, it's law that smoking tobacco must be sold in packaging which includes graphic imagery of surgical outcomes from tobacco use. Staring a diseased organ in the face (so to speak!) every time you have a cigarette is an easily grasped metric. Perhaps other industries should fall under similar controls. Airline tickets with images of ???. Petrol pumps with ???. But of course, therein lie long battles between different interest and commercial groups. Or, as in tobacco's case, for the situation to progress to sufficiently large and undeniable quantities of deaths and disease, such that action becomes a belated but foregone conclusion.
