Like Whacker said, the world's already going to hell in a handbasket, and once all is said and done, all that shall remain as a testament to the greatness of the human race is a thin layer of glass and plastic trapped in between the layers of mud and shale.

I contribute to this thin layer, and quite frankly don't care. The world we leave for our children is already going to be ****, so it can't be any worse with a bit of excess plastic stuck under the ground in landfill sites.
