Offensive bumperstickers

As I was driving the other day, I was behind a car at a red light, and I happened to read its two bumper stickers...."Earth first...we'll mine the other planets later", and "Strip Mining prevents Forest Fires."

Now, I'm no environmental historian like Erik, and I rarely spend my time thinking about how people conceive "nature" or how they construct space, but upon seeing attitudes, I can't help but wonder, with attitudes like this, I sometimes wonder, what hope do we have in preventing massive human-caused environmental disaster?

All I know is, karma will be if that guy (it was a man) gets crushed by a tree he's cutting down.
