We are not the owners of this planet.

[Capeshifter]

there is nothing that humans can do, that earth cannot withstand. Earth has been already destroyed a couple of times (meteors/iceage etc.) and it always came on online. We're just a small parenthesis in the big history of earth and will diminish eventually. Maybe Elon Musk is right, maybe we do need to find a second home and become an interplanetary species

[itsBry]

Yes. We are not the "only" owners of this planet. We are sharing it with the other living species so we must take care of our planet.

[Michae1k]

If we were owners of this Planet we should know everything about it. But we aren`t. We don`t understand our planet and all rules, that they have.
So we just a part of something bigger.

Humans may have totally over taken the planet earth but that doesn't means that we are the owners of this planet. Being the most intelligent species comes with responsibilities. We have urbanized this planet. n other words we have destroyed the home of many species. Biodiversity is way more important for our survival than we realize.  We should let other live if not for them but ourselves.

According to my belief the owner of this world is the God. Although we are not the owner of the world but we are allowed to live in the world so we should also follow to preserve the world so that we can live comfortably in the world.

And to others it is to whom, yes we have superseded many kinds of animals and plants, we exploit the Earth to impossibility. But still I do not understand who we have superseded, God created us here, which means everything is in place and everything is right.

[ibrohim]

yes. although this planet is not ours, we have responsibility to keep and save it. if we save our planet, it means we save ourselves. there are 80% living creatures living in this planet is human. who will save this planet if there are no humans here.

We did not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrowed it from our children. Everyone is responsible for everything that is taking place on our planet. So keep this in mind before taking any action and you will make this world a little better.

Humans are just one of the species who was blessed to live in this planet. Humans intelligence should be use in a manner that all creatures would benefits the result of it and will not destroy the resources of our daily lives.
Moreover, technology nowadays make our life innovatively easier.

By now most of the people understand the ecosystem requires inter species and nature relation for a good life and for that to happen we need o grow but not destroy and it is very important to demonstrate that not only talk about it

[Rexpax]

Our Planet is very strong, indeed, and, as someone said, there's nothing a man can do the Earth won't survive from. But really we have done lots of harm to the planet and now, due to the new technologies, we are able to cure the diseases we caused. Step by step, piece by piece, but still it's a must for everyone who understands responsibilities for the harms we do.

[gabmen]

We're more like caretakers, or we're supposed to be caretakers of this planet and sadly, we're doing a horrible job in doing so. It will eventually have its effects, what we're doing to the environment, everything  will boomerang back to us if this goes on

[hackzang12]

We are not the owners yes agree, but we can own some properties for buying them. this Planet is owned by God and living creatures are in this planet.
We humans,animals,mother nature are partly equal.

I agree this idea. In additon people behave like king of the Earth and they see themselves as top of food chain. It's all about egoism of humanity and I call that "egology" instead of "ecology".

We can say that the most appropriate term we can use for what we are on this Earth is caretakers. We are the one who our Creator has entrusted this land to and sadly we have turned it into our own devise. Our God has given us the resources needed to survive but we have turned them perversely into what they are and are now telling us that we must pay ergo the Global Warming where we are all hesistatant to accept and that has plagued our climate recently.

[kodes88]

I think the earth is like a hotel, we can stay in a hotel but we have to pay, equals earth, we can live on earth but we have to pay, and we have to pay by caring for the earth well. If we do not pay at the hotel, we will be expelled, if we do not care for the earth, even destroy it, for example like terrorists, they damage the earth, they may not be expelled, but we all want them to disappear from the earth.

[OZZYMANDIAS]

Oneday the planet will sneeze all humans will be no longer

[Maren]

You'll have to define what does being the owners of this planet mean.

ATM we're PWNING it. Most of us try to do our best to learn how not to destroy it, though.

Hating your species is not okay. Yes we do some bad shit, but we also do a HELL of lot great things.

Jordan Peterson has the gist of it.

in one thing, I completely agree with your opinion and maybe even categorically say that humanity is a virus on Earth.

[Przemax]

The earth belong to noone, but the creator of it. If you have not made something it is not yours unless someone that had made it had sold it to you.

That logic applies to the atheists as well as a believers in the creator.

And it was like so until the laws of conquerers mainly the Saxon laws in england that invented the land ownership. There was no land ownership back then in the middle ages. There were people belonging to the protector by the law of the conqouror.

The Rome had the latifundia as well, but those were not the modern land ownership. It was more like a conquered right to have profits from the people of the land.

However you look at this land ownership was made because of wars. One group of people agreed not to kill another group of people if they agree that the piece of dirt they are standing on is theirs.

Just because someone can kill someone else does not mean that the piece of dirt is his.

It is sick however you look at it.

[SugoiSenpai]

Even if we are not the owners of this planet. We are still the ones who give progress to this planet. We make it more efficient and we make use of its resources which preserves the life of our planet. See our planet works in a manner of cycle, we are apart of that cycle to attain balance to earths environment.
