Just out of curiosity, out of everything on Earth, what one (two, three, hey I'm not picky, however many you want to talk about) thing would you remove from earth? It could be political, environmental, societal, whatever it is. Dig deep with your answer, keep it superficial.. Whatever you like. For me? Mosquitoes. No, but in all seriousness, I'd have to keep it general and say ignorance.. (general, yet vast) What about you?

People. We need to remove all the people. We are nothing more than cockroaches with brains that are breeding voraciously and consuming all the resources on this planet. I know you asked what we would like to remove from this planet, but I tell you one thing for sure we need to bring back to this planet. Common sense. We need common sense now more than ever. And apparently it's gone missing.

I love this answer because it's so true. Removing the people would definitely help the planet. We are all just a bunch of walking zombies honestly, with too many opinions and not enough common sense or listening power.

@moffittjc I'm sure one day we will be eradicated, or nearly eradicated. Look at what we do to ourselves with wars, famine (not helping others) etc?

@ScribbledAdNauseum I feel bad for actually being a human being, as I've come to the realization that we are the worst things that ever happened to this planet, and the only hope for the planet's survival is for us to be removed and completely eradicated.

@LadyDuck It has been too hot to go outside. I have not completed a daily walk in some months.

@ScribbledAdNauseum They bite me every time I go outside in the garden, no matter which hour of the day.

Not a fan? I know it is destructive (the fireworks) to our atmosphere.

Cyrus O’Leary chocolate cream pie. It is the most yummy, decadent pie I have ever eaten, an every time I get a large pie, I eat the whole thing within a day, which is horrible for my health. I can purchase a smaller one, but it is not the same, and I feel like the larger pie is mocking me somehow .........

Far too much, you're right. Not just plastic but other waste too. I watched a couple clean up a beach in Japan and there were so many trashbags full of garbage by the time they finished.

Politics in general. It's become a joke, and if COVID has tought us anything, our "freedoms" we fought for, truely don't really exist. Elections are just a way to get politions on t.v. every for years, and they become more crupt.

Yes, Mosquitoes. I was eaten up last week. I also would get rid of politics and bring back common sense.

All good points, especially getting rid of politics. Of course we'd have to replace it with something.

@ScribbledAdNauseum The nasty ones that harm us both in person and not are the ones I would like removed. I would also like this virus gone so can try and figure out how to have a decent life again for Sophie and myself.

I'd get rid of the haters, pollution and plastic pollution. These would solve a lot of problems.

I think if we got rid of ignorance we'd solve the problem of haters, but then who knows for sure?
