Answer:
The example he gives is that if humans disappeared from the earth, nature would find a way to re-establish itself and little by little it would destroy things that are important to humans.
Explanation:
According to Weisman, a large part of our physical infrastructure would begin to collapse almost immediately. Without street maintenance teams, our great boulevards and highways would begin to crack and to become dull in a matter of months. In the following decades, many homes and commercial buildings would collapse, but some common items would withstand degradation for an unusually long time. Stainless steel pans, for example, could last for millennia, especially if they were buried in the prehistoric sites weeded in which our kitchens would become. And certain common plastics would remain intact for hundreds of thousands of years, not decomposing until microbes evolved to acquire the ability to consume them.
