it bothers me that so much of our plant and animal population could be extinct in 25 years.
why can't we halt mans over populating the planet at such a fast rate. do something like they did in china, 1 kid per family for a couple of decades and stop exhausting the earth by take take taking all the time.0 -
Yep, me too. Although my studying was in 84/85. Biggest surprise of the Holocene Epoch is that I can actually remember my Geography A from 30 years ago! :-(JoshrewCAFC said:I have due to studying Geography. Otherwise I'd be as clueless as the rest.
