“We're so self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We're gonna save the fucking planet?”

Simplified Meaning:

People often think they are very important and try to save many things, like trees, bees, whales, and even the planet. The main point is that it seems silly to think we can save the planet when we still struggle to take care of our own problems.
