The way I see it, the earth is going to be here after we're dead and gone. Even if it's a polluted planet, and they messed it up. Where do they go from here - to another planet so they can mess that up too?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
The planet will survive. Whether we get to be here and enjoy it, or enjoy life as we've known it, is what's questionable.
We have one planet in our solar system that's habitable, and that's the Earth, and space travel can transform things back here for the better. First of all, by just having people go to space and look back on this fragile planet we live on. People have come back transformed and have done fantastic things.
We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.
People don't even understand that every bit of our food was once alive. We take another creature, plant, animal, microorganism, tear it apart in our mouths. And incorporate those molecules into our own bodies. We are the Earth in the most profound way.
Just think: in all the clean, beautiful reaches of the solar system, our planet alone is a blot; our planet alone has death.
I discovered that close to half the planet is 'pristine.' We live in towns such as London, Paris or Sao Paulo and have the impression that all the pristine areas are gone, but they are not.
I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it's already too late.
The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead.
The planet will get better; it's us that won't be here because we'll destroy the environment.
