The planet is a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if its true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesnt share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didnt know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, Why are we here?
“Plastic, A-Holes!”
-George Carlin
George Carlin was a Unstable Genius.
Saw him in Vegas way back when. His Act did not go over well to an Audience full of Vegas Tourists.
He just wasn’t that funny and even though I liked his schtick, it seemed pretty flat. Maybe he was having one of his deep Depression days.
