Every one of us plays a role in the destruction of the world in a way or another. Some roles are important such as the roles of great politicians, scientists, dictators, terrorists, and careless workers at radioactive plants and chemical labs. I am playing a destructive role in the sense that I am part of this generation and contribute to its progress and success. I am, indirectly, contributing to the destruction of the world by being silent about the factories that pollute the environment. I am, indirectly, contributing to the destruction of the world by being silent about the injustice, the killing of the innocent, the production of nuclear/chemical/biological weapons, to serve a dictator's ambition or a group's greed for money or supremacy.
In this sense, all of us are contributors to the destruction of the world.

Everyone on this Earth is playing a role of sorts. If you are aware that you are destructive to the planet in any way, I would catagorize you as being a criminal regarding Mother Nature/God.
It seems some people are complacant about the future of our planet. They would be the people who think 'global warming' is non-existant. They should take a good long look at our planet's history.
Also, at this time, there are more people alive/living on this planet than ever before which contributes to global pollution and in turn, global degredation to it's fullest ever.
Rivers and lakes are more polluted now than ever. It couldn't be any other way with so many people per square feet in urban communities as well as record numbers of people moving 'back to the country' where all is pure and pristene. Well, guess what, those areas are becoming over populated and NOT SO pristene as well. I know because I grew up in a very rural community in Tennessee. Now when I go visit the area where I grew up, there's dozens and dozens of newer homes, trailors, etc.
As far as me being a 'key' player in the destruction of our glorious planet, I feel that I am not playing that role. For me, it would be quite the opposite. I do not throw trash anywhere it shouldn't be.
I don't live in a 'city' or 'big city' like so many modern Americans ( excluding the illegal aliens ) and I try to recycle anything and everything. We should all be attentive in our planet's future, whether it be pollution, unusual warming ( caused by concrete and asaphalt retention of heat, i.e. 'big cities' ) or any other unfavorable habits that can be avoided.

Not every person knows why they are on Earth or what their purpose might be. I don't believe that I am in a plot for world desturction or whatever it's called. I suppose that the positive influence that I have received during the years has kept me out of situations that could place me in some plot to take over the world. It depends on the influence that one receives from their parents. If their parents do not love or care for them then the child might end up being with the wrong crowd.

I think all of us contribute in some way to the world's demise through pollution and overuse of resources. But I don't think that the end of the world is some glorious thing in which to look forward. The world very well may end some time, but to purposely contribute to it is immoral. As far as myself, I'm hoping that I can do as many positive things as possible in my life to make the world a little better.

hope this link will help you 1.Cultivated foods and spices Coffee, chocolate, bananas, mangoes, papayas, Macadamia nuts, avocados, and sugar cane all originally came from tropical rainforests, and are still mostly grown on plantations in regions that were formerly primary forest. In the mid-1980s and 90s, 40 million tons of bananas were consumed worldwide each year, along with 13 million tons of mangoes. Central American coffee exports were worth US$3 billion in 1970. Much of the genetic variation used in evading the damage caused by new pests is still derived from resistant wild stock. Tropical forests have supplied 250 cultivated kinds of fruit, compared to only 20 for temperate forests. Forests in New Guinea alone contain 251 tree species with edible fruits, of which only 43 had been established as cultivated crops by 1985. 2.Pharmaceutical and biodiversity resource Tropical rain forests are called "the world's largest pharmacy" because of the large amount of natural medicines discovered in rainforests that are derived from rainforest plants. For example, rain forests contain the "basic ingredients of hormonal contraception methods, cocaine, stimulants, and tranquilizing drugs" (Banks 36). Curare (a paralyzing drug) and quinine (a malaria cure) are also found there. 3. Tourism Tourism in the Tropical rainforest has increased over the years[citation needed] having both positive and negative effects.. People travel both nationally and internationally to experience rain forests firsthand. Negative Impacts As tourism becomes more popular in the tropical rainforests there are many different negative impacts that come from it, these being depletion of natural resources, pollution, and more[citation needed]. Taking walks/hikes in the forest, off-roading or biking and camping all can trample vegetation, introduce weeds and change plant composition. Bringing in any outside influences that come in contact to the plants and nature of the forest can destroy or leave a major impression on the plants. There are also many other environmental impacts on the forest caused by tourism such as: changes in soil condition, increased soil erosion, alterations of faunal composition, increase and introduction of weeds, development of social trails or paths through the forest, changes in water quality, habituation of native fauna, alterations of plant life and composition, and spread of soil pathogens. Positive Impacts Onset dates and prevailing wind currents of the southwest summer monsoon.Despite the negative effects of tourism in the tropical rainforests, there are also several important positive effects. An increase in tourism has increased economic support, allowing more revenue to go into the protection of the habitat. Tourism can contribute directly to the conservation of sensitive areas and habitat. Revenue from park-entrance fees and similar sources can be utilised specifically to pay for the protection and management of environmentally sensitive areas. Revenue from taxation and tourism provides an additional incentive for governments to contribute revenue to the protection of the forest. Tourism also has the potential to increase public appreciation of the environment and to spread awareness of environmental problems when it brings people into closer contact with the environment. Such increased awareness can induce more environmentally conscious behavior. Tourism has had a positive effect on wildlife preservation and protection efforts, notably in Africa but also in South America, Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific. Animal products Rainforests provide numerous animal products including honey, game meat, and associated trophies such as hides and ivory. Ecosystem services In addition to extractive human uses rainforests also have non-extractive uses that are frequently summarized as ecosystem services. Rain forests play an important role in maintaining biological diversity, modulating precipitation, infiltration and flooding, increasing scientific knowledge and in the spiritual well-being of humans. Such ecosystem services are of use to humans without the need for any modification or management of the forest itself.
