Wonder why humans are so good at making a mess. Everywhere on earth, atmosphere, seas, rivers, lakes, orbit - we just can't help ourselves.

- revelation 11y agoSame reason nobody does the dishes. When something belongs to everyone, in a sense it belongs to no one. (Cf. tragedy of the commons)
- dharma1 11y agoOther animals seem to be less talented in making a big mess. I'm sure they would be up to the task given opposable thumbs and a bigger brain though
- biggestbob 11y agoI was born in China and later live in Australia. My perspective changed. Humans are so good at making a mess but the attitude of the people can result a big mess or a small mess. If the people coordinate and have freedom to care about more than own survival, can together look after the planet very well. I read before Sweden (I think) have 99% recycling rate.
- dharma1 11y agoAgreed, it's cultural too. Some cultures make more mess than others
