Environment, humans and excess use of commodities

We use many commodities even when we don't need to.
We tend to own a several pairs of leather shoes, purses, belts etc.
All of them are made of skin and hides of animals.
Many animals like cows, buffaloes, ox, pig are killed for their skin though not for food.
This way the unlimited desire for commodities is, in fact, causing a great pain and suffering to animals.
Even the tigers, elephants are killed in large numbers for their hide, nails, and tusks in the name of decorative items.
Thus, human greed for more is causing them pain and will lead to their extinction in a few years.
