I’m saying enough with these lamentations about the environment, would these people rather be living in the woods? It’s complete nonsense. Destroying the environment has been a necessary step to human evolution.
This feels brittle. Does that include lamentations about global warming? If so: I’m afraid I disagree. If not: that’s a bit arbitrary.
I understand the sentiment, but sometimes, a complaint is valid. And making it over and over and over again is also valid. It is the first step towards fixing it. If we stop acknowledging this problem we lose all hope for ever finding a way out.
I would say the litany of woeful clamouring is already driving SOME people to consciously consume , buy electric cars, (or we can focus on conscientious vegetarians, if you don’t like the global warming analogy) etc. Sure , it could be a lot better, but it could also be a lot worse.
If nobody ever complained , I bet there would be a lot fewer vegetarians.

We wreck it at our own peril.
Rapacious destruction may have been an expedient shortcut to our development, but unchecked, it will also end us.

I understand that it _might_ and that that would be a pretty bad thing. So there is a risk, but why do you think it's so certain?
