Why weren’t they made to reconstruct the island after they left. Or put some kind of clean up operation in place?? They must’ve made billions!

What is it with humans? We don’t respect nature and we don’t respect one another . We take what we want without considering the long-term impact. My kids have said before that people were God’s biggest mistake. I tend to agree.

Player #25999791, the metals listed are all chemical elements. The word "chemical" could generally be applied to all matter other than subatomic particles.

luckycatfay, going from 6 billion humans to 8 billion humans in less than 20 years is impossible to do without taking a tremendous toll on this planet...the birthrate and life extending medical developments are something to ponder

why don't humans stop harming the planet, all they want is money, no offence but it's important to think twice about every action we make

And all this to make fertilizer that are hurting the planet more and to facilitate the overproduction of food that ends up rotting on shelves instead of feeding people. awesome

GMG, being poor in a nurturing environment bonds people and builds character especially work ethic. What's not to love? Self made, determined people can become rich and have positive impact. Progress would not occur without mistakes. We should learn from them and improve the world instead of leaving destruction.

At one point in the 80s, Nauru had one of the highest per capita GDPs in the world. Nauru is also the smallest island nation in the world, and the only one without a proper capital city...a sad story and a cautionary tale for nations depending on a single, perishable resource for their wealth...

GraceSpace, It's not the responsibility of any country to open their borders to "refugees". National security must always come first! Multiculturalism is destroying Europe and the US because "these people" don't assimilate and they break down the fabric of the existing culture in the country they feel a right to live in.
