I'm pretty sure this one sailed over your heads. Let me explain what I interpreted it as.
In response to your statement "....forced negatively impaired lifestyles basically due to greed and comfort at the expense of the environment.", he's asking what you've done to help.
Have you thought about moving out of the comfort of your house (to live in a grass hut), or giving up the comfort of your automobile, or the comfort of restaurants/ grocery stores (to eat worms and bugs)?? Or are you and I too greedy (dependent on) to give up these things at the expense of the planet?
I, for one, AM too greedy to give up these comforts, along with 80- 90% of the world's population.
Omertà
It was a rhetorical question, aimed at your attempts to talk down to and criticizing others lifestyle.

The 5 Million Green Jobs That Weren't
Obama pledged to create millions of clean-energy jobs. How close did he get?
In 2008 candidate Barack Obama promised to create 5 million green jobs. He laid out a plan to invest $150 billion over 10 years that would advance a clean-energy economy built around biofuels, hybrid cars, low-emission coal plants, and renewable sources such as solar and wind. How many has he actually created?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking green jobs two years ago, but it counts only how many existed as of the end of 2010. It doesn’t keep a running total of newly created jobs, so there’s no way to tell how many existed before Obama’s election. The Brookings Institution also has a tally, but it too goes only through 2010, and of the nearly 2.7 million green jobs it identifies, most were bus drivers, sewage workers, and other types of work that don’t fit the “green jobs of the future” that Obama imagined. The report does zero in on cleantech, which includes the wind, solar, fuel-cell, and smart-grid industries. In 2010, Brookings shows, there were 184,699 such jobs nationwide—up 2,642 since the president took office in 2009.
