The Influence of Human Supremacy

- Doing Efforts

It cannot be doubted that only humans are capable of thinking about nature and the right way to deal with it. In this case, humans act as subjects who are responsible for repairing natural damage that occurs. Ecological crises and species extinction will only stop or at least diminish if humans give certain limits to the fulfillment of their materialistic desires and consumption patterns or give certain considerations to the activities they wish to do. In this case, it's good for humans to consider externalities in their daily activities.

Considering that there will still be a next generation of humans who will inhabit the earth, it needs to be built environmentally sustainable society, a system of society that pays attention to the availability of natural resources today to be prepared for the next generation. In this case, humans must pay attention to the scientific principles of sustainability in order to realize this sustainable society: First, reliance on solar energy or utilizing solar energy to support plant photosynthesis in order to provide food for humans and animals; Second, respecting the biodiversity of each entity that has biodiversity; Third, implementing population control to limit the amount of natural resource usage. These principles also apply what is called an ecological footprint to estimate whether consumption of natural resources by humans is still within the limits of environmental carrying capacity or not.
