I know you're not being serious, but this is the kind of thing people think excuses them from ethical thought about their lifestyle. It may appear absurd to link getting a few bits from the shop with the destruction of the environment and extinction of thousands of species, but it's never the less true.
The link is there, but obviously, the question of who is responsible is very difficult. Business has to operate at a profit, people need affordable shit etc etc. THe fact is it's happening and we all need to change it.
Also while many species will be wiped out naturally, many successful species are and will be killed off by the activity of humans.
