How can we reduce our negative impact on the ecosystem?

Question from the Internet:

“What is the success of methods to reduce the impact of human activity on an ecosystem for a given scenario?”

In order to reduce the negative impact of humanity on the Natural ecosystem in any scenario, we need to become similar to, and adapted to the Natural system.

As long as we follow our inherently “unnatural”, instinctively self-serving, excessively overconsuming, ruthlessly competitive nature, surviving, succeeding at each other’s and Nature’s expense threatening, breaking the finely balanced general homeostasis of the system, we destroy the ecosystem like virus or cancer.

Human beings are the only “creatures” of the system that can consciously, willingly learn how to adapt to the system, achieve seamless integration and mutually complementing cooperation with the system above and against our inherent “software”.

It is this conscious adaptation against the original, contrasting state that will elevate us to the “truly Human” level of existence to the peak of Natural evolution.
