Bad Temporary

Cassidy 2022-09-04 15:15:46

The humans on this land, the creatures at the top of the food chain, are only temporary dwellers on the earth. Since the birth of the earth, how many centuries have changed, and how many species originated and extinct, and the earth is still interpreting the changes and ups and downs of life. The life given by nature also survives and multiplies due to the resources given by nature. The development in compliance with the laws of nature, mankind also broke this convention, and began to regard nature as capital as a means of satisfying their desires. Large-scale human activities have devastated the earth. Human beings are fragile, their lives are short-lived, but their wisdom has released tremendous power like breaking a Pandora's box, shaking the survival of other species, and destroying the environment on which they live. Temporarily living on the earth, we behave badly and very selfishly, but we are also easy to accept reality, and hope to change the status quo, delay this deteriorating process, change old knowledge in thought, and accept new ideas. Humans need to realize that this is to save themselves, not to save the earth. The earth is always changing, but whether human beings will be able to adapt to the harsh environment and survive, without overly guessing, it is to protect the environment at this moment.

The 11th Hour quotes

  • Stephen Hawking: One can see from space how the human race has changed the Earth. Nearly all of the available land has been cleared of forest and is now used for agriculture or urban development. The polar icecaps are shrinking and the desert areas are increasing. At night, the Earth is no longer dark, but large areas are lit up. All of this is evidence that human exploitation of the planet is reaching a critical limit. But human demands and expectations are ever-increasing. We cannot continue to pollute the atmosphere, poison the ocean and exhaust the land. There isn't any more available.

  • Thom Hartmann: Our biosphere is sick.
