I'm sympathetic with your eschatological hope, but not at the expense of destroying the environment we all live in. As you must know as a student of history, Christians have mistakenly thought that Christ was returning in their generation many times before. We shouldn't repeat their mistake by acting irresponsibly toward the world we live in.
The most important work we can do at the moment is to get rid of Donald Trump who wants to pull the US out of the Paris international climate agreement, has taken steps to cut back the US Environmental Protection Agency, and said that global warming is a hoax invented by the Chinese to attack US manufacturing. When he is defeated, the USA can resume efforts to reverse his assault on the environment and seek world-wide efforts to limit anthropogenic greenhouse gas production for the greater good of the future of life on this planet.
