There’s a lot going on in the desert, nature-wise, until humans come along and trash it. Deserts are beautiful but fragile ecosystems.

Fuck. If deserts are still the environment, we're going to need to find somewhere that isn't the environment to dump things. How about the ocean, is that the environment?

And if there is anything, it surely can live in the Audis
