    After reading a David Attenborough article recently after his most recent documentary, he mentions plastic and how destructive it is to wildlife.

    Surely plastic will been seen by the futuristic us as a 'What the F' moment.

    Another big mistake was building with asbestos.


    So ah, what to do think will go down as big mistakes?

    Too many people. Less disease and fewer wars , but no compensation to reduce population.

    Earth's biggest mistakes? I think Earth is doing a fine job trying to auto-correct itself when you consider our presence and determination to fúck things up.

    The big mistake was coming down from the trees in the first place, and some say that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.
