I disagree with the premise that humanity is important, that's a matter of opinion espoused by humanity itself. Of course we're going to find ourselves important. You're free to ascribe value to that opinion, but I'd bet if squids, penguins or lions could talk they'd have the same opinion about themselves. We are not the apex of evolution (we're killing ourselves, right?) or the end goal. We've just found ourselves on Earth like we suddenly woke up here and realised survival requires balance on a knife's edge. We very much are expendable as evidenced by the almost inevitable fact that we are expending ourselves. It's ironic, humanity needed the energy and resources to progress to the point we realise we're killing ourselves to do it. That said, there's a ton of things we could do collectively to fix these problems but individual action requires realising there are problems (or believing they exist if you will) and then taking enormous personal risk to fix them. Take your example: Do you propose to strike? To stop generating an income? I just don't see that happening since survival at an individual level on a worldwide scale will likely take precedence until it's too late.
