Not that guy, but the Earth and life on it can very well take care of themselves.

We try to preserve the environment because the environment preserves us.

No country in the world has enough stockpiles to outlast a decade of droughts or other food production failures without outside assistance.

This is why I hate the hipster greenies. They want to save furry little animals or other 'graceful' things because of their visual appeal, or even worse, because it's a 'spiritual imperative'.

Fuck all that. The slacking fuckers do almost nothing to save the bees or any one of a thousand insect species that are fuckload more important than some ball of fur that you might consider cute.

Nature is a lot more cruel than we could ever be.

A high school Band trip will require renting busses and trucks to transport no fewer than 136 students and 50 or more large instruments. Each bus can accommodate 30 students and 10 large instruments and costs $400 to rent. Each truck can accommodate 8 students and 5 large instruments and costs $250 to rent. How many of each vehicle should be rented to minimize the cost? What is the minimum cost? Give the objective function.
