Agree because we need to look ahead into the future. We may have a normal life with not much negative effects but the future generations to come will. Plants will die causing animals to die with them. Good will become scarce and oxygen in the atmosphere will decrease.
Tectonic plate movements, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and climate change have shifted wildlife habitats, wiped out large numbers of species, and created opportunities for the evolution of new species. Hope this helped!
Because the government cant tax it or tell it what to do.
