I think there is a way for humans to maintain a harmonious life that is also in balance with the environment and nature. The fact that many choose not lead this life does not mean this balance does not exist. The fact that I'm not exactly sure how to achieve this balance doesn't mean it doesn't exist either.

I think that monetary wealth, like any tool, is just that. If you have a very beautiful and sturdy sword, and you use that sword to mow down your family, is it the sword's evil? If you use it to defend yourself and your family from an attack, is the sword the hero?

I don't think wealth=wasteful consumption/destruction. I believe there is a way to achieve wealth without destroying everything. What exactly that way is, I don't know and can't name for you. But just like belief in the Universal Mind, I still believe that it exists and that it will be discovered.
