What a shocking and shameful statistic! The tremendous degradation we’ve caused our planet is not unlike the nursery rhyme, “All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn’t put Humpty together again”.
So it is with our planet. We can never put it together again. We can only try to save the pieces that remain.
