Saw. I 'saw ...'
I think the earth will take care of itself, we are just along for the ride.
One of my favorite green quotes turns out to be an anti-green statement, but either way it fits perfectly into the whole debate, no matter which position you take.
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles ⦠hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages ⦠And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isnāt going anywhere. WE are!
Weāre going away. Pack your ****, folks. Weāre going away. And we wonāt leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam ⦠The planetāll be here and weāll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planetāll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after weāre gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ācause thatās what it does. Itās a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed.
