There is no natural world

didn't say they were in touch with space aliens I said they invented the internet and television.

With no Radio Shack around? Hardly.

Yes, but they are filled with plastic.

No they are not.

 

[Sirius Glass]

No they are not.

Denying well known facts does not burnish your reputation in a positive way.

 

[Robert Maxey]

Yes, but they are filled with plastic.

How about the White House Rose Garden? Eleanor would never tolerate trash, I'll tell you what. Say, perhaps I need to talk like Boomhauer, I'll tell you what, man. Dang 'ol Internet. Because sometimes, all I hear is Boomhauer.

The Arctic, the Antarctic, Canada, Scandinavia, Amazon, Africa, India, Asia, are not filled with plastic.

Absolute tosh. There are millions of square miles on this planet untouched by mankind.

there's a lot of the planet that is untouched but unfortunately there are ramifications to sharing the planet with a bunch of slobs...
humans have a way of well, acid rain for one, and there was the recent spill of weird plastic micro beads .. while humans have not set foot someplace
doesn't mean it is untouched, sadly...

They found plastic at the bottom of the deepest sea trench, and there are bodies covered with it (and other trash) on the highest peaks. Every laundry loads can put plastic micro fibers into waterways and oceans...messing with the filter feeders.

Let me ask ... aren't humans a natural outcome of other natural processes? And don't humans all have a fairly predictable way of going about things? Beavers build dams because it is natural. Humans build dams and it is not. Well, at least according to some folks. Isn't our world shaped by humans that are simply doing what they are hardwired to do?

Bob

Beavers build dams to secure their resources. Humans build dams to secure resources for theirs. No difference.

One thing that bothers me is when theres’s a pole right in the middle of an otherwise stunning landscape . It happens hear a lot, especially because we don’t bury our electric lines; as opposed to most of the USA or Europe, here they are “aerial”.

I even thought about including them in my compositions as a kind of protest, but sometimes they are way too distracting, to the point of making the other parts of the composition to fade away.

The USA has plenty of above-ground power and telephones poles in rural and suburban areas. You get underground mainly in big cities. I'm installing and emergency generator where I live in New Jersey. We are always losing power when ice storms or tropical storms blow through and knock down the power poles. We lost power two years ago for four days.

But the planet doesn’t care.

Maybe ... but I have a feeling you are wrong..

Apparently, microscopic plastic fibres fall with the rain all over the world - enough to eventually turn the surface to fleece.

What damage we do to planet earth is our problem.

Yes it is our problem, we've poisoned the food and water supply, and screwed up the atmosphere and planet's ecosystems
and are passing off our problems to someone else to deal with, nothing new. SSDD

The planet doesn’t care.

you might think so, but you might be wrong, Mother Nature does not seem very happy at the moment.

Let's face it, the end is near.
