An asteroid could hit the earth tomorrow, the super volcano could erupt tomorrow, nuclear war could break out tomorrow, a plague could break out tomorrow, a new ice age could start tomorrow, all of this stuff will happen over the course of years. Its not if but when.
Saving trees and gas is dwarfed by all of this stuff. It wont matter in the end. Mother earth will expel us when the time is right and it will renew itself with the few billion years it will have left before the sun goes nova. Humans will no longer be here. So really why all the fuss?
Nihilists are dangerous for society. If they want to commit suicide they can do so. For those that want to live and to continue the human race, I recommend that they try to become more efficient with resources...this is also better from a political perspective as energy diversification is easier to achieve if overall usage is lower.
