So why are humans letting the basket rot?

Bad air.
Polluted Oceans.
Mountains of trash, all extracted in one way or another as a plant fiber, metal, animal waste or earth product, allowed to pile up.
Entire species wiped out.
Entire eco-systems, wiped out. Rainforests, reefs, ocean oxygen deadzones, rafts of trash in oceans which wildlife swallows.
Introduced species are a problem world wide.
Entire tracts of Earth, paved over. Another strip mall? Really?
See the latest news that animal populations have plummeted 30% or more across the entire globe?

And on and on.

The World Without Us is a book which explains how nature would heal.

So we take people out of here, to another planet. So what? To do what? Have a company logo attached to them?
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

To do it all over again. As a Species we don't learn from our mistakes.

Greed. Lucky for us our current economic system and social model of success is not a law of nature.

Survive. The dinosaurs didn't build a International space station and look what happened to them.
The true business of people should be to go back to
school and think about whatever it was they were
thinking about before somebody came along and told
them they had to earn a living.
