Humans are now so technologically advanced, that all aspects of the planet's environment is under threat from our activity.

Not only is oil and gas being extracted wherever it's found, we are polluting the sea and the air we breathe by our industrial processes.

To imply that extraction has little real effect on the planet, is I suspect, an unguarded opinion. One wonders at what point humans will wake-up and realize; that they cannot merely plunder the Earth's resources, without having a destabilising effect on the planet.

The plastic microfibers in the sea, is the result of treating the planet like a sewer. Who cares for the effect it is having? Well nature will re-balance the system. It will struggle on, attempting to contain the worst excesses, of a species that hardly deserves to exist, if it cannot 'Take Care' of this beautiful home.
