Useful or otherwise from the perspective of an Individual, even before the first human being appeared, all vegetables, fruits, and the rest of the resources were there; do we call it a waste?
We don’t because we were not there?
Even if human beings cease to exist, all this will continue. Is it not just our perspective? Why do we think everything is around us?
I agree that we shouldn’t only care about the perspective of humans. But if humans aren’t around then much of the potential energy on Earth will simply go unused (unless another technologically advanced species evolves or visits Earth from elsewhere). So yes, this would be a waste.
