Think about your average litterbug. Simply minded, obviously lazy, uneducated, and careless. Throwing the biggest piece of trash on the ground one can carry is simple human impact. This however...just stop and think about what goes into a structure like this. Blood, sweat, tears, an intricate knowledge of engineering, millions of miles of different gauge piping, and caring sooo much - without caring at all. This is large human impact.

The actual comparison is very very complex; however, the difference between the two? Nothing.

So sad the amazing men and women with the computer, construction, and engineering knowhow couldn't contribute and help make possible; an alternative to this image.
