Much the same as the "Environmental Science as a scenic landscape" rhetoric, I absolutely hate the idea that we need to "save" the world. Not due to the fact it doesn't need saving, but when it's put in terms of us "saving" the planet, it removes any and all owness from human beings.
We are the ones who did this.
We are the ones who spend unfathomable amounts of dollars to tear the face of the planet up
We are the ones who are polluting at a terrifying rate.
We are the destruction
We're not saving the planet from anything but ourselves. This is why I drew this sketch. Think of it like a math equation. If people didn't exist on the planet, the earth would still (likely) be the same.
So it's not our job to "Save" the planet. It's our job to unfuck the planet.
