How does conservation of resources do anything but extend the length of
this high standard of living?

You're apparently unaware of the loss of topsoil, the increasing
fertilizer/pesticide subsidies per unit of food produced, the problems of
water pollution which make fish from over a third of North American
waterways dangerous to eat, etc. Rather than (either of you) arguing
from ideology, you may want to do some substantial reading before making
silly assertions.
You may also want to find an appropriate newsgroup
(say, talk.environment) for your discussion.
