Overused? I think they're more nervous about the words "free and "share". See, that becomes counter productive to their "everybody's got a price" business model.
Lets look at the wealthy for a minute. They have huge houses with way more space than they need. If they own more than one car, they have more than they need and are using more gas than they need. If they use heat or electricity in parts of their home that they aren't using, they are using more then they need. If they are throwing away food everyday, they are buying and making more than they need. Get the point?
The real problem is hoarding, not consuming. The cycle of replenishment comes to a standstill when some rich people think that you and I should give, give, give and get nothing in return. Their motto is, take, take, take and give nothing in return. It doesn't work like that.

And what about golf courses the wealthy love so much?
Great point about how people hoarding resources doesn't allow for replenishment/natural cycles.
- We should react to overpopulation as we are reacting to carbon dioxide. We should set the upper limit to population to 7 billion people and sell by auction reproductive rights to young couples
