View submission: Reductio: if we consider merely affecting the environment to be morally wrong, we face the conclusion that our existence is evil. This indicates we have made a mistake...

TL,DR: No, "merely affecting" the environment isn't morally wrong. But people get sanctimonious about environmentalism, so sometimes we feel like it is. We shouldn't feel that way.

Everything in this article about philosophy is totally extraneous and the title (of the article, a bit, but ESPECIALLY of this reddit post) is shameless click-bait. Even the psychology in the article is extremely over-simplified and obvious (and largely wrong). I'd suspect the article to be written by an undergrad taking Psych 101, and I suspect this post was made by a corporate astroturfing account trying to farm karma.
