Any ecosystem will suffer if one element becomes dominating without exception. Look at a lake. If there is too much algae, the animal species will suffocate and die. The algae then can't sustain themselves and rot. The output of the rotting algae is unhealthy for the algae that is alive and thus the rest of the algae will die out.



This process is a rule for any ecosystem. The human species is also part of at least one ecosystem. One side is that overpopulation is self-destructive, but another is that it is destructive to the environment itself - just by it being there.



As for the human species, we also have a social behavior and attitude that is destructive by itself, and destructiveness in such a high degree doesn't make things any better.



The modern human species also cast off a lot of pollution. Each individual leave in average 2.5 kilos of garbage every day. There are currently 7 billion human on the planet. 2.5 times 7 billion is 17.5 billion kilos of garbage everyday. To that number we need to add the amount of waste that the human industry is producing every day. Let's look at the total number: 17.500.000.000

Does this pose a problem?



It does - not only because for each day we destroy hundreds of thousands of ecosystems by expanding our cities, but also because nature simply cannot process the amount of waste the humans produce.



By human lifestyle and the size of human population, the humans are destroying not only themselves, but also all other life. By humans being so happy to procreate; so narcissistic and self-important they destroy themselves...



Is there a way out of this problem? Yes there is. By looking into nature, we find the solution; and the solution is easy.



1) We need to accept when it is time to die. If we get a terminal disease - we need to accept that as a hint that it is time to die - for the benefit of all other life. No more treating cancer!



2) We need to stop extending life. We all need to die. In all ages. Death is something that is highly necessary for other life to exist. So, no more anti-abortion! No more oxygen tents! We an organism cannot sustain itself with minimum help, then the organism is not meant to be carried on.



3) We need to stop keeping human pets. People with autism or downs-syndrome, for example, would not survive 5 minutes in the wild on their own, before a predator would take them own and eat them. Easy as that. Objectively, theses people are just biological pollution. No more keeping human pets!





It is rather simple. Rough and brutal maybe - but simple - If we want to survive as a species and even have to slightest care of other life than ourselves, then we need to regulate ourselves.
