Heck, we're all pretty intelligent people, right? I just try to minimize my impact on the REST of the environment. That's right, in case people have forgotten, humans are a part of the environment.
I work in planetary science. I've often wondered what we'll have to do with the phrase "take only pictures, leave only footprints" when we FINALLY get back to the moon to stay. There, footprints are trash that won't go away for millions of years. Also, people are NOT part of the environment. Not yet, at least. Toodles, -Tim Parker 93 EV GL 60 Singlecab 29 Model A Ford.
