I know what you are getting at, but that is the best of one compared to the worst of the other. And nature, probably including this picture, is at its best with responsible humans.

Thank you for the clarification.
It's naturally evident that this image portrays an exaggerated depiction to highlight the issue. We humans inevitably produce waste, especially plastic waste, that cannot flow back into nature. This should be considered when contemplating the contrasts between the human world and the natural environment.
