Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.―Seneca

memento mori

I made this graphic thinking about environmental issues and the concept of "saving the planet". I think the planet does not need to be saved by us, because it is more resilient than us humans. Let's be honest: the reason why we should take care of the environment and Nature is for ourselves, to save ourselves! We cannot survive without this planet, but the planet can definitely live without us.
