Yeah just retire somewhere where you don't speak the language, have minimal-to-zero connection to local culture, and will be thousands of miles from children, family, and friends. Simple!

So obviously they care about those things more than nature, just like they care about driving their car all over the city more than spending money on greenspace.

Everyone has choices. The society we've made is the sum of our choices. You don't freely chose to do things you don't want to (given your available options).

Yes! You’ve got to the point here. People want natural parks and durable clothing, but given the set of constraints society has put on them they “choose” the more affordable and less desirable options because they’ve also got kids to feed (and/or other stuff).
