Good points. The lifestyle I'd want for my kids would be more resources available per kid (whether they use them or not) and less effort expended to attain a resource, not the current situation where there are ever less resources that are ever more expensive in today's dollars to attain. For example if they want wild salmon for dinner I'd like the rivers to be teeming with salmon, like they used to, and for a salmon to always cost $1 in today's dollars, instead of $15 a pound today and $30 a decade from now and so on. And yes I'd like everything to be recyclable and recycled to the maximum extent, whatever is needed to keep the good life sustainable until the Sun becomes a red giant.
