Like what Charles Darwin had said, in practical terms, we need to evolve. We need to have improvement. What would improvement do to the environment instead then? Pollution, right? Alright, since we have pollution, can we fix it? Developed countries like the USA, UK and the EU have all come together, including China and India, to tackle the environmental issue. Can we do something about it? Oh well, actually, no. We can minimise the damage but we cannot undo the damage which we have done so much throughout the many years of 'torturing' the earth.
I remember the Glove One Michael Jackson wrote the 'Earth Song' signifying the potential threat or threats to Mother Earth. You do see on the news about factories across the globe releasing toxic gases especially CO2 which is really harmful to the environment. You can argue with me that CO2 is good for the plants as they need carbon dioxide. What about too much of it then? Can you control it? We need to have more trees, right? What is happening right now? We see that most part of the Amazon forest have gone. We have development and it means to cut down the forrest.
Not only that we cut down trees for development processes, we need trees for building houses, for logging. When such things happeneing, do we replant the trees? It take years and years for a tree to grow to become an adult tree although chopping them down would not even take a day or so to do it. Can you see my point? What are we going to do to preserve the rain forest then? We don't want the earth to die...In turn, we will also die. Many countries have come together to battle this problem. It is not easy for them to do anything due to red tape.
It is also not easy especially with the credit crunch striking so close to us. Oh well, we need to work out way through. Balance between polluting the earth and preserving the rain forest, alright? We do our bit by not littering and do more of recycling!
