Avirah what you are saying is difficult to understand. Of course Hashem is in charge of everything but how can our recklessness not affect the world? That’s like saying no matter what you eat you will still be healthy so eat all the junk food you want. There is also venishmartem meod, so that proves we do need to do our part to protect our health, and possibly also to protect the plabet we live in wouldn’t you say?
You do see that our produce is different than what it used to be, and the vitamins and minerals people used to get from food hundreds of years ago had greatly diminished and that is also due to the air quality and soil quality which has become horrible compared to what it used to be.

Of course I’m Not saying we have to stop living in a normal way with driving cars, taking flights, factories etc. But these things definitely have an impact on the earth and we get affected by it. Just look at L.A. with the traffic issue because everyone drives a car there. It’s not like thw roads get any wider just because there are so many cars. We think by littering or throwing a wrapper on the street has no impact just because it disappeared from our view, but there is a chain reaction and that wrapper keeps existing and can cause issues long after it’s been out of our view.
