Hallo everybody,
I don't know whether or not this is the right place, but ... who in this world knows that?

Ahem. I object to the bad-mouthing of 
in this story. Mice, as fellow mammals, deserve more respect and consideration from us. 
I say this as a former raiser of 
s, gerbils, and guinea pigs.
It is a well-known fact that cockroaches will be about the only motile organism to survive a nuclear holocaust. Thus it might be supposed that the cockroaches are behind it all.
As the wise songsmith wrote: 'La cucaracha, la cucaracha, no lo quiere caminar...' ('The cockroach doesn't want to travel on.') He adds something that might not get past the filter, about controlled substances and Pancho Villa...
Anyway. I'm looking forward to what you will come up with once you leave the 'Hitchhiker's Guide' universe behind and use your own voice. I detect a flair for humour in there.

I sympathise with your message about the effect of human carelessness on the planet. 
However, I don't know if the idea of the mice creating Earth quite works as a means of getting this message across.
However, your message can be presented satirically, and I agree with Dmitri that you have a feel for this.
I particularly like the paragraph beginning "Humans are getting mad in the last days." Perhaps you could expand this theme.
