I loved your response to the question and how you brought addiction into play as if it was determined by the person with the addiction not just a cut and dry definition of addiction

In our world today, it seems as if money rules our world. Which, when talking about humans, it does. But we forget that we cant buy another earth. Its irreplaceable, and we havent learned that yet. So maybe we should take some of our money, and spend it on the thing that is keeping us all alive.

When one thinks of wolves usually an image of a vicous packof canines comes to mind.  While they are furocious hunters, the wolves of yellowstone park are a keystone species, meaning they play a vital role in the eniroment. In the late 1800s the agricultural business swept through the park, before it was officially a park. In taking alot the land, alot of the wolves prey were killed, so they started to feed on cattle and livestock. of course, as humans, the first thing we did was to start killing them off. by the early 1900s there were only afew packs left. The reason these wolves are so important is because if there are no wolves to hunt the remaining elk, the elk population exploded. in turn, the elk nearly destroyed a whole popuation of trees and grasses due to over grazing and such. Years later, after scientist stated noticing the missing populations, they realized that the wolves had to be there fo the existance of the other species to be present. Now the wolves in yellowstone are thriving again.

Affluenza. But the thing is, it really does affect us. almost half of the earths coral reefs have died  due to acidification, climate change, and sedimentatin. All of which can occur naturually, but with us humans contributuing more and more to the problem, there is only a certain amount of time left. Luckily for us, there are enough peole that have been paing attention in order to try and restore what has been lost, as in autrailia with the Great Barrier Reef.
