Top of the food chain?

Isn't it interesting to note that should all human life cease to exist on our planet, earth would continue on in ecosystems and life just fine without us. We're the only living creature you can remove from our planet without damaging the balance of life on our planet. Actually, our planet's environment, I would imagine, would likely improve without us around. Kind of humbling. As you may hear in my words, I'm an advocate of careful thought to how we take care of this planet we call home. And of our relationship to it.
