Perhaps a more sane approach is to acknowledge that, despite the illusion of a title, we never really own anything but all must depend on the natural resources for sustenance. I anyone pollutes the river everyone pays the price through a negative feedback loop of ecology/health. The concept of ownership must be transmuted into the concept of stewardship.
If we can't take "it" with us when we leave this plane then we are only borrowing it for a time as many have before us & many will after.

RE: I will show you why I am an anarcho capitalist libertarian
Mr.Hamster:
There are always more than 2 ways. Almost all our actions are governed by a subliminal/unconscious expectation of our reality based on early life programming that becomes set in stone by the time we attend school. We rationalize that we are or will be this way or that without the capacity to step outside ourselves to see that what we consider choice is merely an illusion offered up by our internally chattering companion called the Ego. I understand the simple rationale of your premise but, in the end, almost everyone mimics the reality they perceived as infants/very young children with perhaps only slight shadings of differentiation. What passes for thought is almost invariably simply a reactionary response to stimuli which is then decided upon based on past experience/future expectation that we receive from that false personality called our Ego. Most people will never actually have a unique thought which leads to unique action in their lives. It is in this decidedly oblivious state that we feel we have choices, be they freewill or to submit.
