Is ARC environmentalist?

Are ARC and environmentalism compatible? Do we see the preservation of the 'mother' earth an essential component of assuring the survival of the civilization? Is it the civilization or the earth that we care about? Do you find this valuable?

For the next decades or centuries, Earth will be the only body in the Solar System capable of sustaining human civilization. In this period, we must be sure that our home base is secure. If a disaster should wipe the Earth clean of humans, we would want to have a backup base nearby to repopulate it. In the far future, we may be able to establish self-sustaining homes for human civilization separate from earth. Robert Shapiro Do you find this valuable?

Not only are they compatable, but environmentalism is absolutely critical to the mission of ARC. Even if we gain a self sustaining "backup base" as Robert puts it, the loss of Earth would still go from being a total loss of civilization, to a catastrophic one. Hardly much of an improvement.

The only argument logic can make in which the two are not intimately tied, is if the Earth becomes insignificant to civilization, being but a minor piece of humanity. That thought is so far off as to be not worth considering right now, and I venture it will not, even under the best circumstances, be the case within the next several centuries, if not the next millenium.

So yes, they are tied at the hip, environmentalism and ARC.

As a side note it's not to see Robert posting. I wasn't sure if he took this project seriously at all. Do you find this valuable?
