The Price Of Guilt

I was raised to know that we are draining our planet of its resources. That simply existing these days adds to the diminishment of nature. Every step that I take, breath that I make, or food that I eat leaves traces of destruction behind. Would the only way to stop eating away at my planet be to stop existing altogether? Or... What IF I could pay for my life and justify its means, by Creating something invaluable to leave behind?
