Human beings should stop reproducing and walk towards extinction, we've done enough and irreparable damage to the nature
Any animal with the ability to dominate the globe as we do would do the same. So why single us out? We are part of nature. Even if we died off, intelligence would evolve again and then what? We make way for cockroach people to make the planet unlivable for all other species?
This degree of nihilism doesn't impress me. I mean it's not even an ethos!
Walk towards extinction again.
Nature was perfectly fine with the earth having only single celled life for billions of years. Nature will stumble along with or without humans until the planet gets too hot for liquid water.
"Nature" is every state of being the universe has ever been. There is no before or after Nature. Nature is not Life.
If we had the ability to act like this as a group toward a greater good, this wouldn't even be necessary.
You're basically describing ecofascism which is super fucked up and invented by eugenicists. Humanity is not the problem. Capitalism is, and so are the rich and powerful who ruin things for everyone.

Ecofascism let's go then. Whatever it takes.
If you give me a button that'd aniquilate life on earth I'd press it just to erase human beings from this planet.
