Only one is needed ... If mankind wasn't here, the 'Planet' would be fine.

Very true but if that was the case we wouldn't be talking right now so it wouldn't matter

Yup, I'd agree with most of those.

But not so sure that running a Marathon in under 2 hours, particularly as it was somewhat contrived, makes the world any better. Or Simone Biles winning gymnastics medals.

But, still, an interesting list.

Thrilled about the whales! Knowing most of the species are on the way out the way things are

Whales is good. The rest my personal view is 'so what?' Sorry bout dat

 

[TriplexDread]

Sorry bout what pal? We all have a personal opinion. That's what makes this forum so diverse

I agree that humans are the biggest problem on our planet.As to no humans at all I don't know,less humans(birth control) that would help a lot I should think.
