Your point that sustainable demand is far more important than switching to sustainable supplies is excellent. I still remember (paraphrasing) what Stewart Brand said, like, 47 years ago: "Instead of turning up the heat in your apartment, put on a sweater." That suggestion is great technology, and it came from the founder of the Whole Earth Catalog, which listed tools.

Very similar to this Shantideva quote:
“Where would I find enough leather
To cover the entire surface of the earth?
But with leather soles beneath my feet,
It’s as if the whole world has been covered.”
