We are mere passengers

We may look pretty, we may breed like yeast, we may believe we are the greatest creation under the stars, but the truth is that we exist by virtue of the fact that billions of creatures from millions of species make it possible for us to exist at all. Without them there would be no art, no music, no poetry, no science, no civilization.

Bacteria, seaweeds, plankton, trees, worms, bees, ants, beetles, flies, fish: These are the essential beings that maintain the life support system. These are the species that make up the crew of spaceship Earth. These are the species that nurture and sustain us.
