How Man Betrays Nature Z X Chen

We Live on a planet that has all kinds of natural resources at our disposition for us to fulfill our inspirations. The consequences of such a process are obvious.

One of the most acute issues confronting our societies has to be how much longer can nature tolerate our behaviors? Men have no idea what lies ahead. Each human generation is bequeathing the next with an ever-deteriorating legacy. Yet most if not all national leaders still paint bright future for their fellow citizens, who are often encouraged to perform in the name of economic growth. In recent decades, some of them have uncovered a new direction. It is about how to be "green," i.e., to protect the environment. There is one and only one way to prevent nature from being harmed. Do not count on legislation to be passed by the government or the conferences held in the name of climate change (or any other related agenda). The world now has a rather unnatural phenomenon for us to ponder the cause. How come humankind is the only species that strives, grows, and prospers when the others are struggling to survive?
