anthropocentric 

Centered around humans.
'Anthro' is a prefix meaning 'man'.

If I am only thinking of myself, I am egocentric. If humans are only thinking of humankind (and not other species or of the environment around them) they are anthropocentric.

anthropocentric 

An idea based around human thinking.

If a forest was to be cut down to build housing for humans, this would see seen as an anthropocentric idea as it only suits and is a benefit to humans. No consideration therefore is taken for animals or current exsisting wildlife in the area.

anthropocentric 

1. The idea that the universe revolves around humanity and humanity's interests.

Unfortunately, almost the entire human population, with the exception of some brave-hearted environmentalists, believe that humanity is more important than ANYTHING. Go ahead, kill as many zebras you need to make your goddam line of fashionable coats. OH, POOR ZEBRA! BUT NICE COAT! :D :D :D!

-Now, if it were not for animal protection laws by a few people who CARE, then this would happen all the time.

The more reason humanity deserves total eradication.

Stupid anthropocentric people!

anthrocentric 

advective defining the state of believing that humans are the central aspect of reality, and that everything that is not human exists for humans.

It seems that almost everyone I know believes that humans are the reason for the universe, which I interpret to be anthrocentric.
