Have we failed as a species?

Aoi mentioned something which had my mind wandering and wondering!
Is it the nature of entropy that we as living beings will eventually use up the planet's resources?
Let's assume that population growth is a part of a thriving species.
The time will come (assuming no natural extinction events fall upon us randomly) where we have outgrown our home (earth).
Is this our aim? To hurry up with technology so we can piss off somewhere else after trashing our rental?
Is that what "other" life on other planets do? Is that the natural thing to do as a successful species?
I'm thinking the opposite. I'm thinking we are reckless and living beyond our means and govts are doing too little too late to save our planet, our food bowls and our atmosphere. Why? Because WE MUST BUY CHEAP STUFF FOR $2 WITH FREE DELIVERY FROM EBAY CHINA! LOL!
Or maybe I'm just being sentimental and ultimately there are no rules to life and the universe ... We should not feel bad about fucking up the earth. No-one's around to judge us? Shitloads of other planets and resources out there? Who gives a shit?
PS, There's no guarantee that we won't cop an extinction level event on our next home and wipe ourselves out! Funny how karma works like that, isn't it?

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
