We're not guests.
We're as much a part of this earth as any other living being or inanimate object. As for how to behave I think the more people there is the more difficult it is for us to behave "correctly".
We have the technology and the infrastructure to support a much higher population than ever before but if they fail to keep pace with our ever increasing numbers the result will be catastrophic. Maybe even enough to destroy the capabilities we have now. Even if they can be successfully defended from the hordes of starving people crops are not much use if they can't be distributed because the countryside is in chaos. I'm guessing that the last crop man grows before a mass starvation event that severely reduces our numbers to a more sustainable level would either rot on the vine or be destroyed fighting over it but not much of it will be eaten.
