This sentence makes me cry...straight from Seed Magazine:

"Up to 95 percent of all the terrestrial world is now actively managed for human uses."

What will become of us? Where will we go when there is nowhere here left. Why did we slowly transition from taking only what we need, to taking everything and needing more? By 2040 there will be no ice on the North Pole, none. The "Winter Wonderland" of so many children's imaginations, Santa's workshop, all of that, will be gone. We are killing ourselves, we are killing our beautiful planet, and soon enough we'll be killing the Moon, Mars, and whatever other celestial bodies our technology will allow us to reach.

The largest, most dangerous population of parasitic organisms in this world has slowly shifted and without even fully realizing it, become us. We are the cancers that are destroying this world, reproducing at astronomical rates, devouring everything in our paths. I am sorry for the negative sounding tone of this post, but it is just so sad to me.

Do what you can, while you can.
