Econ-friendly

Supporting the interests of the economy, the collection of production, consumption and exchange of people. As opposed to eco-friendly which tends to be hostile towards the interests of the economy (people).

Let it be noted that maintaining ones environment is an implicit sub-set of supporting and developing the economy. Prioritizing the environment beyond the interests of the economy destroys the means by which the environment would be maintained.

Empirically the environmentally interested have empowered the state ( the entity that does the most harm to the environment ) to use force against the economy.
Are you "eco-friendly?" ...absolutely not, I care about people and the environment, I am econ-friendly.

Econ

Short for Homo economicus. A hypothetical agent used in economic modeling who exhibits perfect rationality, consistent preferences, and complete self-interest. Unlike a human, an Econ is assumed to possess infinite computational ability to process information and always selects the option that maximizes their personal utility (satisfaction or wealth).
"If we assume the consumer is an Econ, then increasing the price by even $0.01 should immediately lower demand, but brand loyalty often keeps Humans from switching."

"My brother is a total Econ; he spent three hours building a spreadsheet to decide which brand of toothpaste has the best cost-per-ounce ratio."
