Why would people buy tons of useless garbage

Meat, cars, houses, fresh water, cell phones. That is the top of that list of ecological depredation. Billionaires for all their evil aren’t the ones eating over 50 billion animals per year. Yeah you read that right. It’s a large number.

reality is that the disproportionate consumption of the rich far outweighs the consumption of the working people

Unless by “rich” you mean “middle class Americans” you’re mathematically wrong by many orders of magnitude.

Now I’m down to kill the billionaires, very eager, but it won’t solve our ecological woes. Not even close.
