Far into the future

You are part of the so-called elite, with money in your pockets, an army of suckers to satisfy your every desire.

The planet is doing badly, the human species has produced to the maximum of its capacity and devoured almost all natural resources, oxygen has become profitable because it is progress.

A holy man from ancient times, a visionary, a divinity to many of your fellow human beings, named Elon Musk created a Mars base for the richest, for the best genes among humans.

A crucial choice is before you.

Are you going to join the productivist elite to go and destroy the planet Mars because you have the right and the power to do so ?

Are you staying on planet Earth to try something?

(In this case please elaborate on what you would like to try)

Needs context and I know this can be as varied as it gets. I'm not someone who has any skills or knowledge in any field that could help Earth recover (other than some basic understanding of ecology, fauna and biology). I think I'd be inclined to stay and try gathering a team of skilled people to recover it.
