Why squirrels think we're nuts

Ever wonder what our wild animal friends think about us? Well, they probably don't appreciate how we treat the planet we all share.

The Green Options blog puts a slightly silly spin on our environmental impact by looking at things from a tree-dwelling rodent's point of view.

Their post Top 15 Reasons Why Squirrels (And Other Animals) Must Think We're Nuts shows how far we've strayed from Mother Nature.

Some nuggets: 

Squirrels spend their days unpacking their food from shells, but we package up our food in plastic and boxes.

Squirrels play with other squirrels, but humans sit alone in front of our computer and TV screens.

Squirrels only hoard nuts, but we hoard plastic junk.

While this article is poking fun at people, the author does have some good points. A little back-to -nature action might make us feel a bit less nutty, and we could make the planet, ourselves, and the squirrels happier.
