    actually many species introduced to locales they didnt evolve to are extremely harmful.
    boars brought to america for sport, toads in australia, shit BAMBOO in SoCAl.
    humans are just the most destructive.

    You are talking about biological pollution - an infrequently discussed topic. While industrial pollution is not nice, unlike biological pollution it does eventually go away.

    Yes... think about this a lot. People are the only things that can save this planet... but we have to save it from ourselves, and such is sad.

    everything has a balance, its us who are ruining that balance for the benefit of ourselves, for money and power. if only they could see that we can live in happiness and harmony without the need for all this.

    humans are the only animals to harm the planet. human are the only species to kill for fun. humans are the only species to build houses...blah blah blah. anything overpopulated harms the planet. then it dies. we just haven't reached that point yet. happy birthday, we're not special.

    Any animal will make life easier/better for itself if given the opportunity, and humans are no different (even if it is at the planets expense).

    Yeah we have huge impact on the environment and know the consequences of what we are doing now and bla bla evil bla moral crap. Seriously I don't think anyone here truly wants to 'restore the balance' or 'live in harmony with nature' because that would mean sacrificing their environmentally unfriendly comforts and heading off into the bush for a lifetime of grubs and tree roots.

    Sure, preach all you want, for the most part I agree with you.. just don't expect any changes.
