Thanks, I've been looking for this meme for ages!

And so we don't care about the Earth or the universe for their own sake; we care because humanity's survival depends on them. What's the point of preserving all this if humanity disappears? Today, we try to solve environmental problems, but ultimately it's for our own benefit and well-being. Ecology has always been fundamentally anthropocentric. You need to stop portraying humanity as the villain because of this. Our impact on the world is so great largely because we have removed most of the natural constraints that limit other species, such as predation. In nature, whenever a species is freed from the factors that regulate its population, it can severely damage its environment through overpopulation and overexploitation. Deer, wild boars, ants, and many other species provide examples of this dynamic. The difference is that humans are aware of their impact and are actively trying to mitigate it. We may not always succeed, but at least we can recognize the problem and attempt to address it.
