RE: The Holocene Mass Extinction Part 5: The Quaternary Extinction
Another excellent post.
We, as a species, have largely done more harm than good. We're cutting down forests and destroying more and more ecosystems (beyond forests) each day. It's sad to see.
One of the biggest ways I think we'll make species go extinct is plastic. You can go to the gyres in the oceans and see huge pools of plastics spinning in the middle of them, it's sad to see and can also make one angry if they love the ocean and its animals like I do. Some scientists predicted that by the year 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean (by weight). That is with just today's use (I think the study was conducted in 2016 though), that is sure to decrease every year since the population rises and we keep buying plastic products, not recycling, and disposing of them the wrong way.
Sorry, I went on a little tangent.
It was a good tangent, though!
