We’ve launched over 4000 satellites into space and now have huge numbers of operable and defunct satellites along with other human-sourced junk continually and densely orbiting our planet. We’ve badly polluted and over-fished our massive and irreplaceable oceans. We’ve managed to poison the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soils that produce our foods. We’ve sorely diminished both our surface waters and underground aquifers on which all life depends. We’ve destroyed vast natural habitats leaving little left for what few wildlife have managed to survive. Meanwhile, every single day we maim, torture, and kill billions of living domestic animals so we can gorge on their bodies, this when far better nutrients are readily available to us in plants.

Let’s see, surely there are even more things we can do in order to make this planet completely uninhabitable?

Aldous Huxley once remarked that reality cannot be ignored except at a price; and the longer ignoring reality persists, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid.
