Many religious people (which make up over 50% plus of the world population) do not believe the fact that we are harming the earth and think that it is in gods hands. Others believe that earth was made by god for humans to do as they please with. Additionally you would be surprised to know that not everyone is aware of the extent of the damage. Others just don't care. People have made some changes in recent years, its not as easy as you think. Big business and our ways of life would have to drastically change. Many powerful people are economically dependent on the current destructive ways wether it is right or wrong does not negate the fact that it is the way it is. It is a complex problem. What are you doing to protect the rainforest? Or prevent pollution?
Saying that it is hopeless is not a good strategy even if it is hopeless. It is going to get a lot worse before we use up all our resources. There is the possibility of changing our ways. We may have to adapt and dramatically change the way we live but the possibility remains. Sometimes it takes drastic situations to influence human behavior. Furthermore change is occuring, public opinion has drastically changed with the right leaders environmental policies will be enacted. Take a look through out history change doesn't happen over night it takes time. It is not hopeless. Furthermore monotheism religion is decreasing every generation which will make a difference regarding how we view the world and other life.
