I liked this article. It was a weird feeling to read it because I felt like it would be quite nice if humans disappeared from the planet...

At the same time I'm happy to be here, enjoying all the tech we have and the tools we have, the food we eat.

I still think humans can live in harmony with nature but we don't have any good leaders to take civilization in that direction. So in the end, we will probably perish because we fought over power and money until there was nothing left.

I think you could get a good idea of what it would be like in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Or Fukushima. There are fantastic docs of both places.
