Why protect the environment?

[Gthe]

I know that this seems like a simple question but i am looking
for more in depth reasons why we should go green, recycle etc.

Im tired of all the well we live here reasons, its the only planet
we got, etc.

I think we should have a discussion about the underlying reasons
why we should and how to cut back on all the things we do that harm the planet.

Nature is bad

Nature is survival of the fittest, exploitation of the weak, dog eat dog, disease, poison and parasites. Everywhere in nature you have one organism, plant, animal or microbe, trying to sh*t on another organism. Organisms of the same species fight to become top dog only to pass their genes onto the next generation. Predators eat prey, who need predators to control their numbers to prevent overpopulation which would use up all of the prey's food supply.

Its man's mission on earth to conquer and control nature. Nature, alone, has no purpose. Now that man has arrived on earth, it is nature's purpose to serve mankind. Of course, it might be desirable to have some reasonable amount of conservation so nature can provide for man's needs long term. The most morally upright of mankind reduce the suffering of his fellow man by inventing and providing labor saving devices and other technology. To run the labor saving devices and provide synthetic materials of at least equal or better worth than natural materials, man has learned to use fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal. The companies and those working in those industries that provide these products are some of the most righteous people on earth as are the farmers who provide food for mankind. If it wasn't for synthetic chemistry, it would be impossible to provide enough food for the human race today.

The most noble life a human can lead is as a fair free trade capitalist owning or working for a company, especially a publically owned corporation which provides large amounts of wealth for its share holders and society. The highest level of society is those refered to as conservatives or neo-conservatives, in many ways modeled after Plato's Republic where the smartest and most educated run society for the benefit of all.

A number of deviant individuals oppose man's true nature as discussed here by opposing capitalism and setting up scams where these individuals pretend to be environmentalists with little or no knowledge of science. Many may have tried to get a traditional scientific education only to drop out and become involved with a leftist scam outfit. These people, especially, the fake environmentalists are in league with the devil. These deviants insist man is evil and claim he only exploits and damages the earth.

The deviants speak with a religious fervor and provide tainted evidence and pseudoscience and claim mankind is creating a catastrophy in order to encourage people to join their suicide pact. These left leaning deviants have failed in a fair capitalist system because of their sociopathic incompetence and want to destroy it and all those who are part of it.

The greatest evil they have concocted is the man made global warming scam where they try to blame all bad things that happen today on an alleged global warming caused by mankind's use of fossil fuels.

Profit and predictability. It can be more profitable long term to be able to reuse resources. It's more predictable also, if you know how much of a resource you have access to consistently, it's much more reliable than trying to predict the supply of unrenewable resources.

You shouldn't "Go Green", atleast not in the corporate sense of the word. Going green means nothing more than for a person or oganization to go foward with business as usual, but to portray themselves as being more environmentally friendly. And incase you're not aware, it's business as usual that's destroying the planet.

I'm having a hard time formulating an anwser to your question. It's no different than asking, "Why have clean air/food/water?" These are the things that the environment provides for us and also the constituent parts of the envrionment. The environment is the very thing that sustains you and maintains your life.
