Consuming The Earth's Resources

Humans can eat just about anything, but each culture chooses a basic narrow diet. Like locusts, we can easily destroy a food source before moving on in search of another. But we can take down many food sources because we can eat so many things. We can also make use the planet's other resources more widely than any other species, destroying them in the process as well.

We can destroy quite a bit of the planet by eating a resource or consuming one in some other fashion. We don’t really seem to care either way.
