And yet again customer demand and financial gain supercede environmental concerns. There’s no hope for a better, less consumer-oriented culture if even the indie creatives among us acknowledge the problem yet succumb to it.

Less consumer-oriented culture demands brainwashing, totalitarianism and terror, to force people to not do things they naturally want to, when there is a capability for doing that (if there's no capability, a nation will be physically overwhelmed by other nations and cease to exist/replaced)...

It simply requires putting a stop to the constant brainwashing campaigns for inducing demand.

>> do things they naturally want to

collecting Stanley tumblers is not a "natural" tendency.

Is this some libertarian/randian take?

There are many things people naturally want to do that we regulate and steer away from via many different means (smoking bans, traffic laws, etc.).

You do realize we don't live in an objectivist society, right?
