Quoted from hAbO:

Its not save the planet but save us

the planet has survived this long with global catastrophes and mass extinction in its 4.5 billion years. i doubt our parasitic species will put a dent in it.

Yep. But wouldn't it be nice to swim in and drink clean water and not have massive swaths of the population suffer from pollution induced asthma prior to an asteroid or nuke snuffing us out?

i agree 100% i am all for clean air and water. but change will take a long time and i believe we have turn the corner
