The Earth Will Be Fine Without Us

May 19, 2020May 18, 2020

But first . . .

Alan:  “Having to take the family to the store to shop, remember this.”  Three jaw-dropping minutes.



Jules: “The Trump Administration Is Reversing Nearly 100 Environmental Rules. Here’s the Full List.”   Imagine what he would do in the next 4 years.”



And then watch one of the countless videos inspired by Haroon Rashid’s poem, like this one.


We Fell Asleep In One World and Woke Up In Another 

Suddenly Disney is out of magic, Paris is no longer romantic, New York doesn’t stand up anymore, the Chinese wall is no longer a fortress, and Mecca is empty.

Hugs & kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents & friends becomes an act of love.

Suddenly you realise that power, beauty & money are worthless, and can’t get you the oxygen you’re fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful.

It only puts humans in cages.

I think it’s sending us a message:

“You are not necessary. The air, earth, water and sky without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters.”
