Choosing Extinction
The holistic way of life takes into account the impacts of our behavior on other beings. The consumer way of death ignores these consequences. Case in point is the impact of driving, whether one burns fossil fuel in their car or somewhere else to generate electricity for their car.
Even a solar-powered car lays down tire residue that washes into creeks and kills juvenile salmon. It isn't any one thing; it's our entire way of death, based on the addiction to consumerism. To quote Neil Postman, we are amusing ourselves to death.
