In Scientology there is the term "Dymamic," described in the book What is Scientology  as follows:

 Suppose, for example, life could be correctly compartmentalized so that its many activities, often confused and blurred, could suddenly assume a new clarity? Suppose, for instance, that all the activities in one’s varied life could not only be understood for what they really are, but harmonized with all others?

This is possible in Scientology through delineation of the eight dynamics.

The basic command “Survive!” obeyed by all of life, is subdivided into eight compartments so that each aspect of life can be more easily inspected and understood. These compartments are called the eight dynamics (dynamic meaning urge, drive or impulse). L. Ron Hubbard had observed and delineated the first four of these dynamics in Dianetics. When his research led him into the realm of Scientology, he was able to amplify these first four and delineate the remaining four dynamics.

Through Scientology, a person realizes that his life and influence extend far beyond himself. He becomes aware also of the necessity to participate in a much broader spectrum. By understanding each of these dynamics and their relationship, one to the other, he is able to do so, and thus increase survival on all these dynamics.

One of the dynamics of life is the urge to survive through life forms, specifically:"

 "The fifth dynamic is LIFE FORMS. This is the urge to survive as life forms and with the help of life forms such as animals, birds, insects, fish and vegetation. This includes all living things whether animal or vegetable, anything directly and intimately motivated by life. It is the effort to survive for any and every form of life. It is the interest in life as such."

Things which threaten the survival of life forms, like global warming, the destruction of rain forests, the depletion of natural resources vital to the life of plants and animals, obviously affect our survival.  But some believe they only live once and it doesn't matter what they do to despoil life as they won't live to be bothered by the consequences.  Little do they know....
