When I was younger, I used to think, 'No Problem'. Meaning that mankind will save itself, whether by eliminating pollution, including fossil fuels, plastics etc. Now, I'm not so sure. Money makes the world go round, and the money is going to take us for all we're worth. We had a good documentary recently on TVO entitled 'Land Grabbing'. Man. The corporations will suck out the life of everything they can get there hands on. Putting people from poverty into worse poverty.
