There definitely are energetically wasteful ones.
Although aside from the baseline things like refrigeration and plumbing, a lot of them aren't real conveniences, they're just traditions that evolved as displays of wealth. I wouldn't call nonnative lawns or large houses(Aside from maybe people with kids) or not being able to repeat an outfit within the same week or two convenient.
Some of them might be hedonistic in some way, but a lot of things that make pollution are pretty high effort.
