Why??

I always wonder what will happen in the absence of human being from this planet? Can the ecosystem still run? Will any of the other species have hard time living without our presence?

Turns out we are not that special after all. Our absence from this planet will not affect the ecosystem in any negative way. It will start flourishing again. The plants and vegetation will automatically find their way out of the soil. The earth will be green again.

Considering the things that has been already done to this planet, the first five years will be a little chaotic. The starvation of animals in captivity, specially the friendly pets, the malfunctioning of the nuclear plants, and other mechanics which need human input. However, after that everything will start to decompose, except plastics. They are going to remain in this planet even long after we are gone.

May be that’s why we humans are surrounded with plastics, because that might be the only things that will be left to indicate our presence in this universe. Not sure if any aliens care, but who knows.

Why do we act as if we own this nature? As if the nature needs us for her survival. We try to control and manipulate her as much as we can for our benefits. Moreover, we blame the nature when she tries to go back to her original form. We miss to realize the consequence of our own action.
