"Save the earth", "Save the Ocean", "Save the forests", "The earth is bleeding" etc are very common phrases we come across in this century. What is funny is that humans aren't even looking at saving themselves (like "Save the humans"  Cheesy) except shelling the shit out of ourselves in the name of wars based on egos of our leaders.

From what I see, The earth doesn't give a damn on whether we try to save it or not. We found the Earth here, and we shall probably go extinct at one point and leave it behind, just like the dinosaurs are now a distant history to it. The earth will always heal no matter what.

All this "Save the earth" projects or themes won't make sense if a random asteroid came from nowhere and hit our planet, wiping out everyone. I think our priorities are misplaced. We should be looking at saving each other, avoid pointless wars and survive peacefully.

I guess you are messing up with the wrong meaning of this phrase. Saving the earth means saving it for the people and the next generations. Things require proper attention and are looked after so they may not get worse in the future when it would be more difficult and next to impossible to fix them soon; if we keep focusing on saving the earth, it would mean saving the upcoming (as well as current) generations.

Yes as a human we should own some responsibility towards our fellow humans and next generations . If we keep in damaging our Earth and doing all the things that we shouldn't do we will leave a polluted, dirty and climate disaster for next generations.
