Option 1 -> The passage mentions "little things we can do in our day-to-day lives" and "quite a bit more than you and I can do" - this CAN be inferred.
Option 2 -> The passage says "Beyond the ceremonial planting of green and getting people to run marathons...is there more that we can add" - implying marathons alone are insufficient - this CAN be inferred.
Option 3 -> The passage explicitly states "we drew roughly 3,000 calories each of energy out of the Earth for our food and life's sustenance" - this directly contradicts the statement - this CANNOT be inferred.
Option 4 -> The passage begins with "Until a hundred years ago...we had a simple, uncomplicated biological connect with nature" - this CAN be inferred.
Hence, Option 3 -> The passage clearly establishes that we DO depend on Earth for food and life sustenance (drawing 3,000 calories from Earth), making this statement a direct contradiction rather than an inference -> correct
