      The planet is fine, it will be fine long after we are gone.

      It is our civilization is seems to be fucked.

        Sure but I'm including the biosphere as a part of the planet. Rocks are cool and all but life is much cooler imo

          Yeah. There'll probably be a long period before plastic can be biodegraded, like it happened for wool/cellulose in pre-historic periods.

          At some point, a mushroom will learn how to use it efficiently and then it will all be degraded.

          We will be long gone by then.

    You know what, I thought the average would be higher, I feel a bit better. Not much though.
