Not sure I follow your wanderings here. Are first and second toilets and cell phones?
What we should all be using is composting toilets. All you really need for those is a pile of leaves.
I'm not exactly sure what we're arguing about at this point though. We seem to agree that there is a great disparity in income. Therefore, it should follow that a reduction by the consumption of the top 20%, which by your figures consumes about 77% of all resources, should free up a lot for the poorest.
But look, none of this is easy, never has been, and it has been getting nothing but worse and worse as far finding some way forward that has some scintilla of fairness, given historic and present inequalities, yet has some remotest chance of preserving any kind of planet that is remotely survivable.
Just don't assume that the Koch brother, Exxon and the other ultra-rich haters of the poor who are selling this kind of tripe that coal and other ffs are the only saviors for the poor...don't assume those @$$wipes have somehow more concern for the poor than environmentalists and other folks throwing their very bodies in front of the juggernaut to try to stop the omni-cidal fossil-death-fuel train that is going to (and is already) trample on and obliterate the poor--mostly children and women--first and most furiously.
