I don't think moral "objectivity" is even possible, myself, given morality's inherently subjective, and relative, nature. I also think that your critique of the dangers of moral relativity misplace the problem. The problem is not making morality relative; after all, it already is. The danger lies in men placing moral imperatives above the well-being of others. I also think that the idea that moral relativism and subjectivity automatically results in conformity and depravity wouldn't bear much close scrutiny. It has only been in the last century that moral relativism has been a common outlook, but humans as a species have acted selfishly in environmental terms throughout their own history.
I'm not sure what you mean by "moral adaptation" to the environment.
I've no argument with your point about leaving the world better-off than we found it, and inculcating that into our children.
