America and Australia would have been a lot more "beautiful" without the European settlers ruining it.

If we're going to play that game, then Australia would have been a helluva lot more beautiful if the Aborigines hadn't got to it either. As soon as they showed up they killed off most of the awesomest wildlife (goodbye, Diprotodon) and burned a helluva lot of the forests down.

sure...

I would go onto say we should not have not moved out of Africa at all.

Most people would agree that we humans somehow end up making places less beautiful by own standards by inhabiting them and exploiting them.

But we NEED to do it. We can just ensure that we restrain ourselves from crossing a commonly accepted limit. I had never suggested turning moon into a billboard in the sky.

Think of it more like rock painting made by a caveman. in certain restricted parts of the moon.
