Will waste be the Sin of our generation?

I'm not a great fan of the concepts of "sin" and "guilt", and yet I've spent some time thinking about possible "moral blind spots" for our generation. In a previous post, I suggested that primate rights might be that one, big blind spot.

I heard another suggestion on one of the Inside Renewable Energy podcasts. Chris Luebkeman thought that in the future we would be amazed that we were actually creating "waste" and consuming non-renewable resources as if they were never ending. A couple of years back I would have scoffed at that thought, I think.
