Hi Bernie.
It would have had to take care of itself, though, right? At one point, we were (and some would say still are) only creatively destructive animals with a penchant for tool use.
I think the key is to observe and gather information, and to decide where it is best to leave things alone, and where we can put in a tiny bit of effort to make natural systems' output benefit us the more, like with food forests.
