Efficient use of finite resources is a more serious proposition. Markets are sorting this out to some extent. Many things are just cheaper and less energy intensive to throw away and build anew. Other things (like copper, for example), make sense to recycle.

Environmentalism is the newest crazy religion. If you really subscribe to it, and you probably do, then you need to stop flying immediately. Anthropogenic climate change believers who finger "carbon emissions" have no business burning HUGE quantities of fuel and dumping massive amounts of carbon into the air. If this is your belief, then your job is directly contributing to the eventual death and displacement of tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people.
