The planet couldnt care less. It was there long before us and will still be there long after us, no matter what we do.

define healthy in the case of the earth

Man is nature too and all we ever built is built on nature cause thats all we have to work with.

sustainable with creatures not having their ecosystems destroyed and/or having other species go extinct...

do you really think a tomato grown in a landfill is as good as a tomato grown in a healthy field for crops?

for instance, hoover dam is not natural. and has major repercussions.

like if for you, by definition humans coming from nature, means that anything humans do is natural is where our trains of thought go separate ways...

yeah i don't really care if random species to extinct as long as humans prosper. The only reason i'd care if a certain species went extinct is if it directly affected humans, like cows suddenly not existing. You can make the argument of emotional appeal/attachment to certain species, but ultimately it's not that important. I care about the planet being 'healthy' relative to the betterment of humans, i.e. clean drinking water for humans, sustainable farm land for humans etc.

The hoover dam didnt occur natural, no. We built it from natural materials.
What about a beaver dam? Also not natural in your opinion I guess?

Not everything humans do is natural, but all humans do and make is based on nature.

flowers aren't natural either cuz bees help pollinate them ofc
