Have we failed as a species?

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).

Eventually, our World will become uninhabitable:

In just 1 billion years; by that time, hopefully, if our species hasn't destroyed itself, we will have colonized Mars.  Hopefully, we can last another billion on Mars.
