Even when we are gardening, we do not leave a "found" ecosystem intact, but please ourselves. When we dispose of waste, it may be as careless as one pleases, and not matter, or it may do harm, depending on things like biodegradability. In neither case were human beings in a position to even think in terms of "ecosystems" until recently, and therefore in neither case could ecological preservation be the result of a conscious choice for the bulk of our history. And yet, Nature survived pretty well. Anyway, if the "natural order" is fragile, then the obsession with environmental impact may make sense; if it is resilient, then we should "chill out".....
