Further, returning to the earth is _not_ "green", or "ecologically correct" - 
unless if you volunteer to get eaten up by bears, tigers, and all kind of germs.

Humans in the wild burn too much wood to offset any other carbon emissions.

The best way to assume stewardship of Garden Earth is warehousing all the humans 
in clean, efficient, isolated cities. That doesn't sound very romantic - and 
it's the backdrop to a thousand literary /1984/ clones - but it keeps all our 
infrastructure in one place for easy tuning.

Oil the machine!
