Weisman, Alan. The World Without Us. 0-312-34729-4 (2007).
An evocative exploration of human impact on the earth and the potential for our impact to be erased with the disappearance of man. From cities, modern houses, and managed woodlands to Chernobyl, the petrochemical corridor of Texas and the Panama Canal—the book looks at how each of these would revert to some form of wild. A great read.
Thoughts:
• WIPP—Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico: storage for spent nuclear fuel. Need for sign-age that will last 10,000 years to let future inhabitants know of the danger awaiting them there.
• VHEMT—Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
• World Population Program
