The solution to the problems of wealth is not poverty. Cutting back is only ever a short-term solution for resource problems; switching to a more abundant source (or a different resource altogether) is also typically short-term, but has the advantage that wealth can continue to grow at the astounding rates it did over the past 200 years, which means our much wealthier selves or descendants of tomorrow will be better able to solve problems. Basically, if you can put off hard problems that are essentially technical in nature, do so.
