@AlmostAnAngel More of a continuous loop, I think, where we create new rules but forget where we need to improve. 3 steps forwards, 1 step back. Still a bigger increase on the destruction rather than fixing what's broken

@bijouxbroussard Yes, I have noticed lately some apelike people, beating their chests. Devolving could be spot on, especially in mentality.

As it has through the eons, enduring life-threatening catastrophes long before we lowly mammals hid in the trees. The fate for us humans, I fear, is far, far less as encouraging.

@plankter979 As Paul Ehrlich said, Nature bats last.

B@Dan193 But the environment is dying bit by bit. The population is increasing at a rate that creates a consumption far quicker than the natural Earth can provide. How do you envision the world in it's "adulthood"?

@KittyKat121 Well I guess we're one of those teens that experiment with alcohol x)
About the consumption part, they are beginning to grow in special facitilities, on racks and shelfs, u can google it, it's something related to eco planting. So we wouldn't waste space and soil on growing food no more.
Regarding its adulthood, I think it's going to move out - interplanetary travel.

Nothing. Concerning people, I doubt we’ll evolve any further since we create technology that adapts the environment to our needs instead of the other way around. Concerning the planet, it’s going through cycles as usual. @KittyKat121

For those who say it is not dying, that over-population is of little concern, that the environment can’t be affected by man, why not listen to the vast majority of scientists and simply not put forth a non-educated assumption or opinion.@SW-User

@KaTeeEvent 🙄 The vast majority aren’t saying that...Study it a little more from multiple professional perspectives before trying to attack someone who doesn’t believe everything they’re told to believe as you do.
