What is funny is that humans aren't even looking at saving themselves (like "Save the humans" Cheesy

) except shelling the shit out of ourselves in the name of wars based on egos of our leaders.

Well, the thing is humans are actually looking out for themselves when they try to save earth and its natural resources. These resources are what makes it possible for man to somewhat survive here on earth, but when these resources are depleted and abused, over time it will definitely come back to haunt man who is always in dire need of them. Thus the call for eco-consciousness and other sort of campaigns that advocate for more care for the enviroment is basically just man looking out for himself, now and in the long run.

It's the same thing. People who are destriying the planet make these wars. And ordinary people who leave rubbish in streets, hate other people and nations.

If all the nukes in the world were set off, in the long run it might harm the planet some... just as millions of people living in big cities seem to ham climate locally, a bit.

When you consider that all the people in the world could fit into two cubic miles, people don't seem to be so much after all, and there isn't really a population explosion that the world can't handle... considering that the earth has approximately 259,500,000,000 cubic miles.

Now, of course, we can't live in most of those cubic miles. But when you calculate it out, you will find that there is plenty of room for all the people... and a whole lot more.

Cool

The earth will always recover no matter what, it doesn't need saving for itself, but for us, humans, who are making life unbearable for ourselves. Plastics require years to decompose and they are filling our oceans, land and beachers, we need to preserve for the future generations, for humanity. Honestly, I was thinking of participating in a master's degree related with the preservation of the environment.

Edit: Grammar and context.

"Save the earth", "Save the Ocean", "Save the forests", "The earth is bleeding" etc are very common phrases we come across in this century. What is funny is that humans aren't even looking at saving themselves (like "Save the humans" Cheesy

) except shelling the shit out of ourselves in the name of wars based on egos of our leaders.

From what I see, The earth doesn't give a damn on whether we try to save it or not. We found the Earth here, and we shall probably go extinct at one point and leave it behind, just like the dinosaurs are now a distant history to it. The earth will always heal no matter what.

All this "Save the earth" projects or themes won't make sense if a random asteroid came from nowhere and hit our planet, wiping out everyone. I think our priorities are misplaced. We should be looking at saving each other, avoid pointless wars and survive peacefully.
