Verily, you are a Prophet, because this is precisely what is going to be done - an attempt to convert capitalism as it currently exists over wholesale to a 'Green' footing. Tiny homes and photovoltaic cars.
But this isn't enough to prevent the ending of the Anthropocene (e.g. the production of solar panels themselves is not a Green process, and emits a great many greenhouse gasses). The problem is inherent to the lifecycle of work under modern capitalism. This issue cannot be dealt with through green capitalism, and will not be dealt with at all until a Crisis makes dealing with it inevitable.
Your solution is Mega-3T to the core - consume; just consume differently.
