Saving the planet doesn't refer to saving the ball of rock and iron that we're standing on. The planet refers to the environment, ecology, the nature of the planet itself.
And its also not up to humans to decide whether we should die or not. The DNA in our cells, the mitochondria that invests in our species is what decides whether we need to continue surviving. And its the universe itself who decides whether we should die out, we are made from stardust in the first place. Our job is to survive and reproduce, that's why humans are programmed to multiply and spread, like all other living organisms.
And since we are supposed to survive until the time limit set up by the universe, we should just work hard to survive. And to survive, we need to do something about the state of the planet, which includes not just saving ourselves but other organisms.
