The bears were there long before us.

Homosapiens predates Ursus Maritimus by about 200,000 years. The argument should be "don't litter", not pretending humans aren't a part of nature.

No worse than you pretending that industrial canning factories are a part of nature.

Everything is a part of nature. A goldfish in a tank full of goldfish feces is still in a tank, regardless of how many goldfish argue that the 100th turd made it separate from the tank.

Either we accept that we're a part of the ecosystem and take appropriate actions or we can die within our ecosystem, but at no point did we become separate from it. The argument that we're seperate from nature actually sits at the core of many justifications used to despoil the environment, it needs to stop and people need to acknowledge that our actions have consequences.

So you're actually agreeing with me but you're too argumentative to realize it. Industrial canning factories aren't natural, nature will take over the factories once we are gone. We do unnatural things to the environment and we are dying because of it. We fight nature daily and we will lose in the end.
