Should We Colonize Our Home

I have always had a concern for our planet's health and wanted to ask the question if we are irreversibly damaging our home. If this is the case then there is a possibility that we will be able to colonize different planets in our solar system and or make a man made structure to live in. This topic really hits home with me because I need to know where we will go if our earth can no longer provide us the support we need. We will have to find an affordable way to colonize a place that is foreign to us. I am passionate about discovering what the human race is capable of, whether it be saving the earth or making a new home.

Plus it is more humane than mass sterilization. If we do not create a population law, then some of the people will go to space and some will stay on earth. The ones that stay on earth can replenish our planet by sustainable agriculture, simple living, and solar panel energy sources. Earth can become our new vacation home we visit every once and
