What If......


What if we were to pollute our world to the point that it could no longer sustain human life?
well, it would be great, because there would be life, and it would be able to continue to persist and evolve.
we humans, though doomed to death, would at least have the comfort that our "cousins" on Earth, still existed and persisted.

But I digress.
The contemplation is this.

If we polluted the wold
and had to leave
and had the means to leave
and take all humans with us,
and somehow we found a planet to live on
and we were able to get down on that planet
but,
it was about as polluted as our Earth currently is

now,
supposing that was all true

what would we do about it?
would we relocate to this planet
and immediately begin creating cars, trash, garbage, packaging, toxic chemicals, genetically modified foods...
or, would we suddenly be struck with the realization we need to make i order to move out of this age of enamorment and to care for this planet, -our second chance,
in a way we just could not bring ourselves to do in the year 2009 on planet Earth?

what do you think?
