The bottom line of Pareto's law is that 80% of the world's resources go to 20% of the world's population. While his theories started in economics, this can be applied to all phasets of life. 20% of the world consume 80% of the world's energy, 20% of a country's population is using 80% of its resources, etc. I believe you could scale it down even to an individual level - 20% of your time is consuming 80% of whichever input you wish to measure. Maybe we should be not only more efficient with our resources, but also more efficient with our time. Cut out all the unnecessary extras and distractions, it could save us time resources and money.
Measure your carbon footprint, become conscious. As they say in recovery programs; realization is the first step on the road to recovery.
