"If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos." - Edward O. Wilson

I read "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman a while back. It was kinda a fun read because is was amazing how nature can rejuvenate itself. (and some of our "trash" would last into the billions of years!! shame...) Let's hear it for the bugs!! I think we all oughta live in the mountains anyway...let the bugs have the tropics...I am cool with that!
