The mindset these people have is the same one that is destroying the ecosystem: they do not care.
The long term is seen as merely a succession of short terms. Numbers going up is seen as proof of prosperity regardless of if those numbers signify actual sustainable growth or not.

"Walden (/ˈwɔːldən/; first published in 1854 as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author's simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance.[2]"
It's his "independence" and "self reliance" parts that make him a hypocrite
This doesn't invalidate everything he says and does.
But it's really easy to be "independent" when someone else foots the bill for the land you're living on and you mom does your laundry for you.
