If you listen to the media you will find that everything on earth is in some sort of danger or decline.

I guess you are all right. We have lost 98% of the wild life that we started out with according to Smithsonian and we are next.

Web link or url, yah that's right. Now that I'm awake I remember with a little of your help and I even remember who I am, sounds like the start of a good day.

90% of all plants and animal species ever lived on earth are extinct. Scientists and biologists estimate that as many as 20 species of plant or animal go extinct daily. It's all part of evolution and survival of the fittest and those that are able to adapt.

It is. The disappearance of insects to apex predators- the beings that actually keep the ecology balanced if not interfered with - is harming us more than most people realize.

Labeled as sarcasm, I presume?

But then even garbage has its uses:
