Finite resorces is also a falicy. It'a an idea sold to the general public by concerns wishing to over value their products or services for undue profit.
We as individuals need to take more responsibility for ourselves with regard to "wants verses needs".
Shelter, food and water are needs everthing else is a want.
The most powerful addiction in the world is capitalist consumerism.
The idea that finite resources are a fallacy is probably the worst environmental observation I've ever heard. I suppose it's ok to use up every resource then as fast as we can so we're happy then right? I mean they are going to last forever aren't they, anyways? I know trees take like 30 years on average to uproot and most other resources like oil and coal take years and years and years to sediment, but hey, maybe the Earth will feel bad for us and just pop in some more trees while we get dry right? Maybe the Earth will start shooting out oil in my backyard when we've reached low on oil.

Seriously, where are all the resources going to come from? After the ANWR, we have pretty much nothing else for reserves. That is finite, right? After the Middle East consumes its oil, they have nothing else, you know that right? I guess not. You seem very uninformed.
