In one side, the Earth is more important than humans. Many conferences were also held where thousands of experts and leaders came from all over the world and brainstormed over the topic. On the other side, we have been observing the total results of human - environmental interactions in terms of wars, epidemics, famine, disasters and deaths. How could we hope for the better? So, our concern over the issue cannot stop the evolutionary process in the Universe. We can talk and discuss about it for next thousand years but will never know about the ultimate fate of life on Earth. Our concern will become a nonsense effort.

This is meaningless without a definition of "health of a planet"? Is the moon healthier or less healthy than the earth. What about a planet that is all desert, but a really healthy desert? Would the earth be healthier with more desert, or with more forest? If you measured health by amount of life, does diversity matter, or just number of living entities, or perhaps pounds of living entities?
I think that the measure of a healthy planet is a personal choice about how what you want the place you live to be like. I feel very strongly about the "health" of the earth in that I want it to continue to be full of the things I like (good fish restaurants, pretty forests, nice beaches with reasonable-rate motels nearby, and cool sunsets).
None of your 5 choices expresses my feelings at all but I would say "4" is closest. It is quite worrisome to me that people with a different opinion about what a "healthy" earth is will make cause the earth to be less of what I want it to be. I am okay with this if that happens because most people want a particular kind of earth and are working toward that, even if its not exactly my choice. I am not okay with a few people imposing their notion of a healthy earth on the rest of us.
