Alt Pandora's Box
According to Hesiod, when Prometheus stole fire from heaven, Zeus, the king of the gods, took vengeance by presenting Pandora to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus. Pandora opened a jar left in her care containing sickness, death and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world, but what if Pandoraβs Box or Jar contained nothing but good things. I know hope was there at the bottom, but I feel that often humanity looks for the worst things.

Great submission for the challenge. After we're gone, the trees will still be here, that is true.
