I think the only way you could pin it on us is consumption. Then you'd have an argument.
But countries and peoples don't really matter, here. The answer to why Americans consume so much is "because we can." If the Romanians or the Tanzanians were as rich as we are they'd be consuming at our rates, too.
Humans are apes who have learned how to make, sell, and buy sh-t. It's what we do. Aristotle was wrong. Man is not the thinking animal, he is the devouring animal.
