Why did you link to a Wikipedia article about Jevon's Paradox that argues that efficiency gains will lower resource consumption? It's not at all clear to what extent this occurs, and it shouldn't be taken for granted that it happens to the degree you claim it does.
"However, governments and environmentalists generally assume that efficiency gains will lower resource consumption, ignoring the possibility of the effect arising.[3]"
If you have something philosophical to say about the merits of capitalism, you ought to make a separate point, or at the very least tie the two together in a coherent way.
