I think Harald that, as the saying goes, you have a chip on your shoulder.
This misanthropic garbage that you are spewing seems like an excuse for your
own inability to accept that you too are a part of nature and are an animal
and
as such you compete, by your very existence, with other individuals of all
species. Our technology empowers us to wreck havoc on our home, however,
unless we have the maturity to act wisely. We have the ability to attempt to
minimize our environmental impact. Doing so, doesn't make you less human, it
celebrates those unique aspects of being a human. The fact that you may be
too
weak to care is ultimately something you have to deal with. As to your
questions, there is an obvious lack of understanding that is clouding your
perceptions of reality. I wouldn't assume to try to re-educate you on it
however.
Remember -- Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. Those that can't
teach, teach gym. Do you teach gym Harald?
