Conservation is anathema to capitalism. No one gets rich off people who choose not to buy stuff. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Conservation would bring our economy to a grinding halt. Instead, we will continue to consume, floating on one bubble after another, until there is nothing left, and we come crashing to earth. Again, my prognosis is deep ****.
