We really are but I'm not sure what to do about it What to do about it would be for humans to effectively stop taking more from nature than we can give back. The tricky part would be to orchestrate that. If you cut down your consumption but I won't it won't save the planet. If I cut down my consumption but you won't it won't save the planet. If you and I both did cut our consumption, the planet would begin to recover but then there would be someone else who starts taking what we chose not to take. And because that someone would later have more than we, you and I would ourselves risk dying in resource wars that would likely follow. This is basically what countries and continents do. To make any difference it would take one powerful party who could hoard resources: just leave them unconsumed except for the amount needed to prevent others from consuming them. At the same time, they would keep others poor, or at least limiting their standard of living by denying resources from everyone. Assuming there was one ruler who could control the majority of the planet's resources that would still be an extremely hard position to be. The other option is not to do anything and play along. When we out-consume and out-grow enough the population can't sustain itself and the headcount on this planet will shrink back to 50% or 30% of the current levels. Then the race begins again...
