to polluting the planet.

Man, through a quirk of evolution, is the only ceature to ever inhabit this world that has the ability to significantly alter the environment.

Some of us alter it in little ways, like shitting and exhaling and burning stuff to keep warm. Others, like oil company executives, alter it in large ways, by spilling oil in the process of getting it to the rest of us so that we can burn it and keep warm.

If we didn't need to oil to keep warm and locomote to our jobs, there would be no market for getting it out of the ground.

We're all part of the problem.
