>Less than, worse than? First world people eat entirely too much, and unhealthily. Not hard to imagine diets better for humans and the ecosystem. Hell, 1.5 billion people are already vegetarian and doing fine. People will complain about eating less steak but it's a first world problem.
That might be true, but people also know they're eating too much and unhealthily, yet they continue doing so. Clearly getting them to stop requires much more effort and sacrifice than you make it out to be.
>People will complain about losing a dopamine button but it's a first world problem.
So you admit that it's actually worse? You're just hand waving it away by inserting your own value judgement.
>Smaller than? It's completely possible to improve thermal efficiency without altering size. Maybe, if you live in a sprawling poorly insulated McMansion, you should invest in better insulation - or a better house - instead of powering through by burning energy. Apartment blocks are already far more efficient for climate control (square/cube law), so it's squarely a rich person's problem.
See above.
>Fewer places than? Are people taking jet airplanes to work every day? Yeah, they should probably stop that. People taking the train are probably in the clear. This isn't even a first world problem, it's a superrich problem. Of course they'll complain...
You're ignoring going to far away places for tourism, visiting friend and family across the country, and going to the Costco on the other side of town.
