I read this with my Saturday morning coffee....too apt not to share.

"If we consider the group to be the remarkable array of species alive on earth, and cooperation to represent these species' survival, then humanity is the bad apple. But just as humanity stands out among the rest of the earth's inhabitants as a particularly destructive force, certain humans stand out from humanity as particularly problematic. Although the Anthropocene implicates all of humanity, not all humans consume or pollute equally."
