Certainly an Industrialist.
Granted a struggling Industrialist. Keeping the fires running with wood has led to mass deforestation, and ground clearance for new outposts and structures has wiped out the natural environment.
But as we expand, the forests keep showing up on our doorstep. So the great engine of industry rolls on.

Well i try not to leave open scars in my minecraft world so i try to fill in holes made by creepers or harvesting resources like sand (i need a lot for TNT), Also i try to build around cool areas rather than on them. But as for resources i try to be as "renewable" as possible. I have a small forest on my island that i regularly harvest and replant and though i use coal i'm happy to know about charcoal so i don't need to worry about running out of that. Although there are two areas of my map that i have dedicated to GIGANTIC projects, one tall monster tower around 22x22 from bedrock to the sky, and a 2nd tower, more efficient than the first that will cover an area 144x144 from sea level to the sky.
I'm a mix. I use what scenery I've been provided to create the perfect landscapes, with buildings designed to compliment the scenery, instead of destroy it. When I'm not building fortresses 
I guess you could call me an environmentalist at this time, I'm more of a fan of digging long underground tunnels throughout the map, connecting me to various openings and bases on the surface. I only really do it because it helps make movement at night really easy.
However, if something's in my way, I will completely destroy it. I was trucking about four buckets of lava back from a cave system at night I had found awhile back. When I got to the top of a hill, I saw an entire forest filled with creepers, zombies, and skeletons. I dumped all my lava down the hill, destroying everything in that little valley. Later I got water to put it out, but it still looks like a bomb crater to me. I'm sure there's a creeper somewhere with a single tear running down his cheek.

I keep my base to how I like it, might make some expansions on the server I play on. Right now, i'm trying to make an underwater minecart tunnel secretly into my friends castle. Shhhh
I destroy mountains, only to replace them with monuments of awesomeness. I destroy every enemy, hunt down every farm animal, clear away forests, all for my own benefit. My fortress of solitude spans the entire map, has enemies spawn inside of it, only to fall in one of my death traps. (Speaking of which, I need to check thoose. And there's A LOT of checking to be done. Like, 200+ holes I filled with arrow launchers)I have found enemy spawners and not destroyed them, but tamed them, so they don't spawn enemies. My most greatest achievement was most likely the time my stronghold that I built covered the entire map, including the big ocean that spans, well, a lot of the map.
A mixture, in my most recent save I dug into a hill and have started hollowing it out, it's strange walking over it and seeing little glass skylights, like i've built a hobbit-hole, I might be destroying huge sections of the game world, but there's no ecology so screw it, it's going to be both pretty and functional, damnit!
Note: the skylights are for killing zombies and skeletons easily, I have underground labyrinths
EDIT: My base is floored with grass, it looks nice, but aminals also spawn there
Come here little sheepie.... I want your skin...

Industrialist
I just built a stone fortress right in the middle of a frozen lake while setting off a chain reaction of dynamite before that to form a valley opposite the fortress.
And then killed a few pigs with snowballs.

I mix it up, builing mansions and mechanisms but on the outside they barely scratch the surface of the minecraft world.
Oh, and I plant saplings every time I cut down trees.
At the moment I'm trying to think of a way to build an underwater fortress in a mountain lake. It'll be epic. I hope.
And my favourite thing is a secret tunnel from my spawn point to a safehouse. Because no-one likes being spawn-killed.

Environmentalist industrialist. I make ingenious solutions that allow me to build large structures without wasting the surface. I run underground tree farms to avoid damaging the nice looking forests that give my caste it's charm. I consume everything underground but the surface remains unscarred. I use offshore wheat farms for efficiency and reduced space use.
I am a mix because I leave naturally cool looking places as they are whereas lava and tnt craters cover the area within 300 blocks of my starting point entirely
