Scaling the Mountain: Another Environmental Concern

So, I read with great interest today an article in Entrepreneur magazine, written by an entrepreneur who was comparing scaling the mountain to scaling the mountains of entrepreneurship!
Interesting concept and linkage and I almost found great relevance with her comparisons, except for the scaling the mountain part.
The mountain she was talking about is Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya, a geographic area I've been very interested in since I learned about it as a child. To my great concern, I've seen pictures of Mount Kilimanjaro grow from a great snow filled and covered behemoth, to a mountain with hardly any snow, or no snow on its peaks at all! And this, just in a few decades!
Why do we have to do this? We are wrecking countless ecosystems trying to satisfy our huge egos! A snow covered mountain in a mostly tropical continent, is there for a reason! Now that snow is gone, and who knows what ramifications that holds for the future.
I mourn for our earth, and wish we could become the caring custodians we should be.
