A National Geographic article accurately describes the state of our planet through outlining the major issues present every Earth Day since 1970. Environmental issues began with pesticides causing death in bald eagles and soot darkening our atmosphere. This year, its not just the awareness of plastic use imperiling the earth that is brought up. Todays worsening environmental issues are apparently, a culmination of all the groundwork humanity has laid over the past two hundred years.

Habitat loss and climate change are the most pressing issues we are facing today, and one cant help but fear the seemingly inevitable destruction of our planet.

I believe we have every right to question humanitys emotional connection to the natural world.

I don't think Earth is any danger. It will be ok with or without life on it.

Humanity faces an existential threat due to the exponential population growth.

Thumbs up! The Earth is fine, the people aren't.
Oh, it just occurred to me that the Solar Wind is one of the major threats lurking in outer space, but again, it poses a threat to humans rather than the Earth...
