I can no longer watch Planet Earth type documentaries, because all I see is the end of everything beautiful in the films, my heart breaks anew.

I saw Soylent Green in 1973 when it came out, that was a time of developing environmental awareness. Earth Day, etc.
The now famous death scene burned itself into my mind, and I remember thinking that is how bad it can get if we don't make a change.

I have been reminded of it more and more, esp. after Fukishima, which ALONE is such a critically dangerous disaster.

Now I have become quite comfortable with George Carlin's remarks about "saving the Planet".
" Mother Nature is gonna shake us off like a bad case of fleas".
