It irks me some when people say "save the planet".
The reality is save ourselves. Prolong our time on earth. Give our offspring and the next few generations a chance at a decent life by not destroying the delicate ecosystem in which we exist. The planet, or some rock from space, or some change elsewhere in the galaxy may do that eventually and we may be powerless to stop it, but we can control the fact that we spew greenhouse gasses, that we foul our water, that we are devastating the landscape by cutting down rain forests.
