I could continue but I think it’s time that all of us who live in this modern world should give thanks for all the stuff that we take for granted that we don’t even stop to think about from day to day.
I think about it all the time and have concluded that all those conveniences that folks in “developed†countries mindlessly enjoy are unsustainable and are bringing us to extinction as a species (along with a lot of other species).
The only action that can change this is for humanity to wake up - but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. We will be registered in the geologic record as the “Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em†epoch. The alien researchers of some far future day will comment that a giant meteorite ate the dinosaurs’ lunch, but those wild and wacky humans ate their own goddam lunch! Crazy!!
