As humans our time frames are too short. We live in terms of today, tomorrow, next week or possibly next year. We cannot fathom how our actions or non-actions may affect the future in fifty, a hundred or two hundred years. We are nor wired for that. We will not be here, so why be concerned about something so far in the future? But Mother Earth will still be around. She is not going anywhere. She has been in existence for 4.5 billion years; we are the new kids in the neighborhood; she is forever. We can drastically change her as we have been doing for a long time but we cannot destroy her. We hear people speak of ‘destroying the Earth’ and its true the damage we have been inflicting on her may make it impossible for her to support life as we know it. But she will endure, we are not destroying her, we are only eliminating ourselves.
