I really like this comment. I wonder if we will destroy the planet from our consumerism before more people start thinking like you.

I think we've discussed that issue a number of times and you still keep bringing it on. You seem to put the carriage before the horse. The USSR had no consumerism issues, but the ecology damage it had done was at least comparable to what a completely consumerism-infected country of the similar size would have done.
