  That’s right! Besides food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, and beauty, what have the plants ever done for us?

    Medicine. A lot of plants are used in medicine as well. Asprin came from tree bark.

      Okay. Food, clothing, housing, tools, weapons, erosion control, beauty, oxygen, and medicine. But other than that, what have the plants ever done for us?

    Yeah but do those fir the wring reasons. If you were a slave and your master gave u food, clothe and housing would you think “wow what a wonderful master”? Well its like that but with the plants. They are enslaving us and we csnt just let them get away with it. /s

  Won’t the extra CO2 just help the heartier plants (weeds) take over?
