This just goes to show that the earth doesn’t need us humans. It will survive very well without us. In fact, it will THRIVE without us!!
Just leave the earth to the plants and animals and it will flourish!
Need I say more?
The amazing experiment which produced the world’s oldest flourishing, thriving terrarium: https://natureofhome.com/worlds-oldest-terrarium-david-latimer/
In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden inside of a large glass bottle and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self contained ecosystem has flourished for nearly 60 years.
For those who are wondering how this is even possible: the garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and breaks down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of earth.
Conclusion: The earth does NOT need us humans. So let’s please drop that arrogance and assumption that we are superior beings (in fact, we are the most inferior of them all) or the stupidity to think that we can and must “control” nature or other living beings. That’s pure delusion.
