No that does not mean irresponsible choices are OK.
Glow in the dark corn might be marketable. 🙂
the eco system of the earth over time is the only thing that will clean up Chernobyl. All we can do is rope it off and wait. And that is all we have done.
We can screw up our own existance -------- and do with regularity over the centuries. We live in the remains of many civilations none of which have been able to destroy the "earth".
I am much more impressed with natures processes than our feeble "feel good" projects.
Even chernobyl ------- It is just the 25th aniversery of the event happening in 1986

A landmark 2005 study by the Chernobyl forum, comprised of eight specialized UN agencies and the (post-Soviet) governments of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine found that poverty, mental health problems, alcoholism, and tobacco pose far greater threats to human beings than radiation exposure. Relocation proved “deeply traumatic” for many.
In a poetic twist, the 1,660 square miles of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has become one of Europe’s largest wildlife preserves. Local residents report lynx, wild boar, wolves, elk, deer, brown bears, bison, badgers, foxes, eagle-owls, and evenPrzewalski’s horse, a species supposedly extinct in the wild for some time. Given that the area is now heavily wooded and free of human predators, such a flourishing of wildlife should continue. Scientists, however, are studying the area's plants and animals for long-term effects of radiation.

We talk about our worship of mother earth ------- the reality is worship of mankind.
