Luxury is a violation against Mother Nature´s Rights, for it implies massive environmental destruction and contamination, biodiversity annihilation, and Biosphere disintegration. 

Luxury is terrorism and a crime against Biosphericity and spaceship Earth.  

Luxury in a world plagued with poverty is a crime against humanity.

Furthermore, luxury is not environmentally sustainable. Beware of the economic wizards from the system who tell you otherwise.

Luxury is a crutch for egocentric people who can conquer the world except themselves.
