You said

I think I did not use the good word "nothing". In any case, death have no
reason. I wanted to mean that if we can do our part, a very small part, we
should kill insect (or other animals and plants) only for a good reason. I
mean that if a single person kill tons of insect for his collection, it will
have no major impact. But if everyone do this, the impact will be bigger.

You said

You don't agree ???? We need to kill an insect if we want to get his DNA for
analyse...

You said
> So accidental slaughter is ok. Hope the insects feel that way too.

I never saw someone taking a car ride specially for killing insects !!!

I said
> > We can't stop driving car, of course,

You said
> there is no "of course" about it.

Do you have a suggestion to replace cars?? Yes, hydrogene cars, electric
cars.... The problem is not the cars, the problem is that there are too many
people -> too many cars...

Finally, you are not agree with any of the things i said...
«Insignificant action» is better than nothing !!!!!
Adding lots of «insignificant action»(like you called it)  will someday have
an impact......
I know how terrible is the destruction of our planet... Don't remember it
please !
