  • real sad cause we are under 1 sun but so selfish with abundant resources what a freaking waste

  • The government should limit the harvesting.

  • That's what they do...invade another country and deplete their natural resources and leave the people with nothing. Look around at other countries...it's all true...so sad.. :(
