In my opinion, the planet itself is not of value. The life
on the planet is what we are responsible to protect and preserve to the best of our ability.
I don't think we are judged harshly unless we knowingly do wrong.
When we value profits over plant or animal life, we are knowingly doing the wrong thing.
And even if God is not the judge, our collective morality has, as jar would say, a "charge" and a duty.
