[civilized]

How far do you go with that line of thinking? Was the Agricultural Revolution a mistake? Should we have remained hunter gatherers?

Aside from that, while I agree that people have historically often used technology to consume more, some of your examples seem at odds with facts, especially recent developments:

1. Fuel economy has been improving for the last few decades https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/09/20190930-sivak.html

2. Birth control has greatly reduced fertility rates. This suggests that your fellow humans may not simply be mindless maximizers of resource utilization, eager to exploit every technological advance to increase their consumption. They want sustainable lifestyle like you, and will choose it if it isn't too difficult to implement.

People want to live sustainably, but will struggle to adapt on a rapid timescale dictated by the planetary greenhouse effects. Giving more time will provide a better result.
