Here we are. The dominant species. Huge brains. Ability to reach the moon. Unfortunately, in our care of our planet we still have the mentality of Neanderthals.
I take that back. Neanderthals, I believe, lived more in harmony with nature than we do. As humans, we are regressing. We are like a cancer on this planet, and we are destroying the body we inhabit.
Half of the world's oxygen is produced via phytoplankton photosynthesis. The other half is produced via photosynthesis on land by trees, shrubs, grasses, and other plants. If we kill the oceans we are done.
