1. How do you know these people are from the West?
2. Crashing the economy may make things worse as people may move to cheaper more polluting options.
3. Also any crashing has to be global if implemented. If the West implements this, will China implement it too? Otherwise, it is useless.
4. We have to get out of the outdated/silly notion that the economy is inversely proportional to a clean planet. E.g., cleaner cars cost more than older polluting cars. So if more cleaner cars are bought, that implies economic growth as well as less pollution. Same for building mass transit. There will be a ton of upfront pollution.
