What are some ironic things we are doing to harm the planet?

Example: we watch a nature channel on tv when we could just walk
outside.(it doesn't necessarily have to be "harmful", but it has to be
ironic.)

I'm not exactly how the person who wrote this question defines 'irony' - the specific example seems to imply that walking outside is a substitute for watching documentaries about the African savannah, etc. That in itself is interesting. Even still, it doesn't approach 'irony' as I understand it.
