"Contrary to post-materialist expectations of wealthy groups showing greater environmental concern, logistic regression analysis controlling for sociodemographic variables reveals lower-income groups consistently prioritize environmental protection over economic growth. Carbon emissions analysis reveals that carbon footprint inequality among income groups has been rapidly increasing, with the p99/p50 income ratio rising since 1990. By 2019, top1% of income emitted 250 COeq/t per capita and bottom 50 % only 10 COeq/t per capita, while lower-income groups consistently rate environmental conditions as poor and worsening, further supporting materialist theories linking environmental harm to concern.

At the societal level, our findings reveal that environmental concern is structurally intertwined with economic growth—a process that simultaneously drives environmental degradation and poses significant challenges for degrowth transitions. In contrast, at the individual level, lower-income groups consistently prioritize environmental protection over economic growth while exhibiting a lower environmental impact. This pattern suggests the potential for a “degrowth from below,” initiated by low-income individuals whose heightened preference for environmental protection directly reflects their experience of poor and worsening environmental conditions."

Not meaning to offend you but I think myself that you don't really know what you are talking about. But, well, anyway, be my guest.
