Here's my idea: I don't think we should go out of our way to destroy the planet, if not for our own sake, then out of respect for everyone/thing else. It's kind of like going to a hotel: sure, you could totally wreck it, but you'd probably have to pay for it and you'd be a real d-bag if you did it.
On the other hand, do we really think that we're so great that we can save the Earth from extinction? Seriously? I think George Carlin put it best when he said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Save the planet? Hell, the Earth's gonna shake us off like a bad case of fleas!" I don't think the Earth is going to be extinct, but we might be.
Again, that doesn't mean that I think we should all drive Hummers and use aerosal sprays and all that crap, because that just wasteful and stupid. But we need to realize that when the **** hits the fan, we're toast and the Earth....well, who knows? Chances are, it will still be here but we'll just be fertilizer for whatever comes next.
