The Earth Self-Heals Better Than Humans Try to Heal It

Ecologically speaking, a spilt tanker load is like sticking a safety pin into an elephant’s foot. The planet barely notices. After the Exxon Valdez accident in Alaska the oil company spent billions tidying up the coastline, but it was a waste of money because the waves were cleaning up faster than Exxon could. Environmentalists can never accept the planet’s ability to self-heal.

Notes:

The Exxon Valdes was equivalent of "sticking a safety pin into an elephant’s foot" for the Earth.
