I remember decades ago in a mountain lake in Austria during a SCUBA dive in a natural environment ...
All we found was junk, household machineries, appliances by the dozen simply dumped into the lake during the past many decades.
Below that layer
more junk dumped decades earlier
Below that layer
even more junk dumped into the lake centuries earlier
Such is mankind's nature - to live from nature and to kill nature at the very same time.
We treat nature like we treat our loved ones, we treat nature like we treat our one and only lover given by God to us - we enjoy, we absorb and we betray - all at the same time.
