The whole "reduce, reuse, recycle" approach isn't tenable. Even a very environmentally conscious US lifestyle still produces a very substantial appoint of carbon emissions.For more, see how Hans Rosling covered the idea in his 2011 "Magic Washing Machine" presentation.

Improving air conditioner efficiency could reduce worldwide temps
Hans Rosling has a take on this: The Magic Washing Machine.
⬐
I'd liken this to the "washing machine effect" that Hans Rosling explaned in his TED talk [1]. He essentially made the case that the washing machine made a huge difference in the history of the world so parents could spend more time with their kids (among other things) instead of many hours a week just washing clothes. I would say Google Shopping Express has a similar effect for shopping trips where the time spent greatly affects the amount of things an individual can accomplish in a day.
