Can We Live Without Plants?
Sarah Jenkins••6 min read
No, humans cannot survive without plants. Plants feed the 55 billion domesticated animals we kill every year for food. Plants supply certain gases into the atmosphere so it is possible to breathe. The human has a diet that is 70–90% Genetically Modified Organisms.

Hereof, can you live without plants?
Without plant life, there would be no photosynthesis. Photosynthesis stores solar energy in a form plants can use. Carnivours eat Herbivorous animals, and herbivorous animals eat plants. Without plants herbivorous animals die, then us carnivors die and life ends on planet.
Furthermore, how long could we live without plants? 13.75 years
Furthermore, what will happen if we do not have plants?
When green plants make food, they give off oxygen. This is a gas that all animals must breathe in order to stay alive. Without plants, animals would have no oxygen to breathe and would die. Without plants there would be no food to eat!
What would happen if the plants on Earth were destroyed?
For this: all humans dead and gone. Because unless earth has a way to make more oxygen that I've missed, humans would suffocate without trees making oxygen. Plus lots of animals would die from there being no food (the herbivores would have no plants to eat and the carnivores would have no herbivores to eat).
Yes, plants can certainly survive without humans because most of the plants rely on the natural resources and the nature, rather than on the man. Yet, the plants still happen to survive as they take their water from the rainfall, and energy from the sunlight. This rules out the need of humankind for plants to survive.
Plants may live for just a few months or for hundreds of years. Annual plants, such as the nasturtium, shown here, germinate (sprout), flower, produce seeds, and die within one year. Biennial plants, including the carrot, take two years to complete the same process.
