Can human beings use the earth anyway they want?

To the question "Can human beings use the earth any way they want" the answer is yes. However, if you rephrase the question to "Should human beings..." the answer is a resounding NO. While the Earth continues to astound us with its ability to heal itself, Earth is not an unlimited resource. The Natural Resources should be used sparingly and recycled judiciously to ensure it will be available for our descendants.
