I thought about this question earlier if is too late to save the planet, in the past as development starts, they are many invention that threatened the safety of the planet and life in it, like the steam train and car that releases fumes into the atmosphere to work well, the invention in the past though gave birth to the eco- friendly really affected the planet negatively and gave birth a lot of genetic disease that have been pass on through generation after generation, in the past am sure people were happy at the new inventions but ignoring the negative effects on man.
So today we have lived with the effect and surviving, and invention are getting better like the invention of the solar system, electric cars, electric bike, the initiation of green architecture and the use of renewable energy resources. Am sure if half of the world population is to make use of this new inventions in their life it will make the world a save place for all living things. Life will be a lot more easier and save. Mostly what kills man most is what we take into our system through our nose, mouth and whatever opening in our body, but from my observation and research the planet will be safe.
