This is very sad but it just shows how much damage we can do. I really like the idea of having more plants just around in houses, like a grass carpet or a jungle in your shower.

The History Channel had a show based on the same idea, "Life After People". But it took them 20 hours to say what you did in 3 minutes.

Let's face it:
we've become way too dependent on organization-dependent technology

I wish I could've observed the world without humans, it would've been absolutely incredible.

Somewhat beautiful. Better than mad humans killing or threatening people.

Kind of nice to see what New York and Las Angeles could look

The only chance of survival for our beautiful planet 🌎 is if humans are gone. Sad but true.

[davehshs]

If many of the trends happening now do not change, humans *will* go extinct.

Welcome to the world of most under appreciated YouTube channels.
