How to save the planet earth - primer!

Stephen W Hawking and others have said that there is little hope for the continuation of life on earth given present trends which move life towards premature death and the planet into a cycle of poisonous gases and fumes!
My first try at a conservationist 'Save the Planet Theme' emphasizing the green artist thinking about the picture he wants to paint of the future earth. It is based on the innocence of a Norman Rockwell character. This is only a preliminary sketch!
He is puzzled as the systems are already there staring him in the face as he looks out the window to the sea and sees the surplus energy of the sun, the wind, and the waves. He is puzzled because these are the only sources of energy that earthly things can use if they are not to destroy the earth by altering a balance of chemicals and gases that has evolved over millions of years. We are closer to earth's destruction than we would admit because of our greed. In such a case, we are closer to an unprecedented period of violence than we can imagine. To many, the negative outlook would be a step towards a widespread war that would be the only solution.
In such a future era the love of God would not exist, most certainly would be dead to life on earth!
Everything that flows from inside the earth, it's gas, methane, petroleum, coal, volcanoes, and derivatives of methane that silently doom the earth to become again a dead planet like Murcury and Venus.
He sees how close we are to the tipping point and knows that the earth like all things will die a premature death without the love of caring artists in the use of what comes to us from the sun and the stars, the light, the sprites and solar winds.
We must make solar energy catchers such as sails, to drive our needs fir motion. By using the sun, we have no need to release further pollutants such as natural gas from the history of earth when it did not support life.
