There are lots of creatures that have lived on Earth a lot longer than we have the humans.
Did they destroy the Earth like we have been doing.
No they have not.
Modern humans which is us have been on Earth for 300,000 years. That is nothing compared to the other creatures. We used to just pack up and leave a area if we destroyed that area bad enough. Now we have destroyed the whole Earth.
Where are we going? We can not even get to another planet light years away.
Really if you think about it. What are we going to do.
Sharks ,crocodiles
and sea turtles have been on Earth for millions of years.. Did they destroy the Earth. No they did not.
Just us the modern human.
Now how sad is that?

Like Agent Smith said in The Matrix, "Humans are a virus."

My question is why would you want to go any where else, some pretty cool things here you will never find in the whole universe. Nice things that will make you smile, not many things can make you smile in this life, you should take a minute to realize that.

We need to learn to love the Earth and take care of her.

Well, “they” say something destroyed the earth during the Ice Age. And, as we weren’t around at the time, we can’t be blamed for that.
We are sleazy, though. The first commandment in the Bible was for Adam to “dress and keep” the Garden of Eden. People tend to forget that.

Yes, we willfully destroy our planet due to our greed.
Earth provides everything for free but we want more still.
I recall Gandhi's words: "there is enough for everybody's need and not for anybody's greed".
Another : "We know the cost of everything, but the value of nothing" Oscar Wilde.

Oh my God you are so true! The earth would have been better without us. There would be no pollution, no deforestation

It's actually really sad
We humans destroy a lot of stuff we should just leave alone
And destroying the whole planet will happen if we don't get global warming and emissions under control
