What makes you care about nature, about the planet? Is it really that you're afraid of what's going to happen if you don't take care of it? Or is it that you actually love the planet, and regardless of your self-interest and regardless of its instrumental use to you, you want to take care of it?

We are not just a skin-encapsulated ego, a soul encased in flesh. We are each other and we are the world.
Charles Eisenstein
Image
The cynic thinks that he is being practical and that the hopeful person is not. It is actually the other way around. Cynicism is paralyzing, while the naïve person tries what the cynic says is impossible and sometimes succeeds.

No one's ever completely broken. It's just a matter of how much has to fall apart before the ember of life is exposed to air.
