Overconsumption should be illegal.

What if every person had been issued a certain limited credit amount for a lifetime? And then they can decide what to do:

- drink from plastic bottles - have children - have a personal car - wear cotton t-shirts - go some retail therapy - have a large lawn - fly to exotic vacations - ...

The list continues....

What if this credit could be not equal for everybody but adjusted by how useful persons contributions are for other people? It could be dynamic!

Wait, we already have that. It's called money and doesn't help all that much for polution from single use, forever trash items. Maybe they are just priced wrong?

I think if government just cleaned up the oceans and sent bill to Coca-Cola for each bottle, market would solve things fairly quickly.
