How can anyone feel so important and arrogant to think that we as humans have the power to change the earth?

Tell that to the native inhabitants of the arctic that have so many pesticides and pollutants in their bloodstreams that a mothers breast milk could by definition, be considered toxic waste. These are chemicals that we created, used, and have never been seen or heard of by the people that are being affected. Our actions in the industrialized world have poisoned the water, air, and through the trophic pyramid, the people that subsist of the land (actually the sea).
Recognizing our impacts on the environment isn't an act of arrogance but an excercise in responsibility.
