"Canada, the most affluent of countries, operates on a depletion economy which leaves destruction in its wake. Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money."

It’s the nature of humanity. Frankly the sooner we wipe ourselves out, the better it will be for whatever other species remain.

Life on Earth won't last forever. Humans will probably be the only opportunity to bring life off this planet before the Sun goes nova or some other planet destroying event happens.
