Personally, I think preserving the Earth's ecosystem has very little to do with utility.
If that were true, then I believe it would not be possible for anyone to care about preserving the Earth's ecosystem. I think utility just has a much wider definition than many people realize. For example, I enjoy sunlight, so I derive more utility from an office with windows than one without at my workplace.
