I'm objecting that we own the Earth and that somehow we can kill it.
> people use “our house” to mean the one they occupy, not limiting it to only what they built
The Earth isn't being occupied by us, we are simply part of the Earth. So I don't mind the use of "our", but implying that we are killing the planet is the bit I think people should take a step back from and think about.
If anything the relationship is the other way around: we belong to the world that has formed us.
> implying that we are killing the planet
That would be a meaningless assertion. We our killing our world, which is a network of evolved complex living systems, not 'the planet'.
