For "it is right" I would use fas est. Literally this means "it is in accordance with divine law" (as opposed to human law), but in common use it just means "it is right/good/proper". It's typically linked up to an infinitive.
Reddere is not a bad choice for "leave"; it literally means to give something back, or give it up to someone else. In this case, you're presumably giving the world up to your descendants or humanity as a whole. Similarly, invenīre isn't a bad choice for "find".
So, all together:
Fas est mundum reddere meliorem inventō.
It is right to return the world in a better state than as it was found.
