Its called "
progress"
more exploitve humans are a birthright to mankind, environment be damned.
Imagine the oceans not full of whales and swordfish, but mercury and old tires. Where the water turns from blue to green with algae and pollution.
Once upon a time going the beach to run along the sandy shore and watch the fishing boats was a sensual pleasure. Now the boats are decaying as the men look for work because the fish are all gone. The smell of the ocean changed and garbage is littered everywhere.
Planet Earth has some staggering pollution and ecosystem Crisis.
Will science be enough to save it?
Probably and most likely not because of attitudes, food demands, and bottom line economics.
I'm starting to think that if we humans can't stop ourselves from cutting down the forrests, smogging up the air, plundering dead our oceans, and destructively trashing everything else up along the way, that there really isn't the greatest future instore for the next generations.
