Ridiculous Yoda quotes aside...

Which "we" are you referring to? Your idealized American conservationist, Canadians, Mexicans, Brazilians? Tibetans? Chinese? North Koreans? Australians? Indians? Nigerians?

There are many human cultures on our planet which haven't created bureaucracy preventing them from taking advantage of natural resources, and some of them are as technologically advanced as any other culture on our planet.

I'm sorry you missed the point. I think I offended your sensibilities, but I was referring to all mankind and how we do care about other forms of life and propose that more advanced civilizations would even more so.
