Line 2:
Long before the start of the story, ecological disaster drove humanity undersea, or underground, or into space, [[Earth-That-Was|away from a ravaged Earth]]. After living for quite a while in a [[City in a Bottle]], it's a safe bet that someone will eventually find the way out and discover that the Earth has cleaned itself up nicely and now looks like the pristine [[Ghibli Hills]], or why not, [[California Doubling|the Yosemite National Park]].
Often used to make the point that the Earth would be a so much better place [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|if it weren't for all the people]], or more succinctly, that [[Ludd Was Right]]. (This suggests that [[Omnicidal Maniac|massive genocide]] is [[Utopia Justifies the Means|justifiable]], which some might see as an [[Unfortunate Implications]]). If a group of survivors in space is smaller and not planning on a disaster, that's [[But What About the Astronauts?]].
Compare [[First Time in the Sun]].

* In ''[[Last Exile]]'', {{spoiler|The show is set in an [[City in a Bottle|hourglass shaped space station]] (which is why the [[Eyecatch]] says "Last Exile In the Bottle"), and Last Exile is a transport ship to take anyone who wants back to Earth.}}
