I don't think extinctions were happening at the same scale since the industrial revolution and the power humans acquired over the environment. Humans created damage before but it was too small to matter so they got into a symbiosis with the systems around them. After the industrial revolution the scale begun tipping massively. We don't really notice because we can't make the comparison, our lifespan is limited and we are all more or less submerged in our own ideologies. I'm not against technology, I am on the internet too, I have electricity, running water and all the modern facilities and I admit it is quite amazing for us to be living with all these but there is a cost to these and i'm not afraid to feel responsible and ready to scale back. Aside from carbon emissions - which some say it's unavoidable and I halfway agree - we have polluted the planet and spread our plastic things everywhere. Despite knowing this we are still using plastic and discard it with no care like there is no tomorrow. Think about the next generation. Do you have children or grandchildren?
