is there a study out there to calculate the "kill count" of every day things?
This reminds me of the point system used in The Good Place.
Back in earlier times, buying flowers for your mom was a net positive in your "goodness" points. But nowadays, doing the same action, because of the different new levels of consumption - basically, were the flower farms practicing ethically? was the plastic processed in a safe manner? how much carbon emissions did the shipping and transport of the flowers produce? did you walk/bike to the shop or did you use a car? - results in a net negative.
