The vast majority of the human race plays just fine with nature.

It is the extremely few extremely rich humans that are abusing nature.

Mowing shows a general disregard for nature by most people.

People generally prefer an unnatural environment that at best mimics nature without any inconvenience. Even in parks well maintained and clearly marked trails see vastly more traffic than people just picking a random path through the woods. People seem to desire hiking trails of arbitrary distances not to actually explore.

I disagree. The agricultural revolution shows clear signs of using land that could otherwise be used by other species, not to mention the destruction of species that were there before we began tilling the soil. Additionally, the rich humans you call out are selling their product to the masses, who happily support their enterprise.

You do not have to be rich.

Anyone choosing to eat meat is feeding into the system of abuse and torture. Anyone.
