Recently, I have been paying attention to environmental issues, but I have not rejected it before, but I have never encountered an entry into it. I watched the documentary "Before the Flood" last night, and I gradually expanded from focusing on consumption and waste to global warming.
I know very well that the climate issue involves a lot of things, and it concerns every country, every person on the earth, as well as intricate issues of politics and interests. It's important because it's a serious problem, and it's relevant to everyone, but it also makes it a tough one. Developed countries have entered the post-industrial era from the industrial era, while developing countries are now entering the industrial era from the agricultural era. The former is calling for environmental protection, while the latter is inevitably destroying the environment for development. This is the first contradiction; the current environment Most of the problems are caused by developed countries in their industrial age. As poor developing countries, their production behavior is bound to affect the environment to some extent. The former did the same in the past. If the developed side provides nothing. It is unfair and contradictory to encourage or require the poorer party to join the environmental protection team under the premise of The technology can be achieved, but due to insufficient funds, most of them still choose cheap fossil fuels. Here, funds and environmental protection become the third contradiction; People all over the world have to bear the burden, which seriously affects the life and death of some island countries. Shouldn't they take the initiative to help, or become a good example of environmental protection, why is the most powerful United States doing such a poor job, which is outrageous. Politicians evade environmental issues in order to gain votes, as if the earth is as healthy and clean as before; big corporations bribe the government to destroy nature in order to gain profits, as if we still have several earths in the universe to move to.
I am not blaming the environmental consequences of the industrial age. It is undeniable that industrial development has brought unprecedented convenience to my life. I will not be stupid enough to rebuke the damage it brings to the environment while enjoying the beauty it brings to me. I know very well that our development cannot go backwards, nor can we go backwards, but our history has not progressed. I hope that under the premise that our development does not go backwards, our history will move forward. I can't imagine what our children and grandchildren will do if we ignore environmental problems. If their lives are worrying about the weather every day, will human beings have a continuation of history if things go on like this? Humans are part of nature, and by hurting nature, we are hurting ourselves. We should live with nature, not just take and never give.
The poverty problem in Africa and the war problem in the Middle East have not been solved for a long time, and today our environment is deteriorating day by day. Most of the problems need to be dealt with and coordinated by the United Nations, and they are not required to be efficient in handling the climate issue. But at least every country has a heart for environmental protection, and has a real sense of environmental protection. If conditions permit, try to incorporate environmental protection into the scope of education and encourage everyone to implement it. Of course, international mutual help is also very necessary, especially is financial aid.
I believe that the influence of public figures and the role of media propaganda will produce powerful forces. As a political figure, he fails to correct his attitude towards environmental issues. Instead, he gradually drives the public away from the correct track of environmental protection and makes negative and seriously wrong speeches. I think this is very hateful and pitiful. And Xiaolizi uses its public influence to pay attention to climate change and promote it to the public to guide the public. After I learned about it, my favor for Xiao Lizi was greatly improved.
If I didn't watch this film, it would be difficult for me to understand that raising cattle will greatly aggravate climate warming. I never thought that the improvement of our economic level and the increase in consumption will affect the For the environment, on the one hand, it is easy to cause waste, and the generated garbage will inevitably need to be disposed of by nature. On the other hand, our large-scale consumption will speed up the production speed of manufacturers and increase their production volume, and all the things we use are not the same. Products are not derived from nature. To a certain extent, the more you produce, the worse the damage to the environment.
This morning, when I drove to the training ground, I carefully watched the dust on the road. One side was an industrial area and various factories; the other side was a development mountain, and all kinds of big machines started building. Seeing the latter, I couldn't help but cry.
I can't find a solution for the environment of this world, I feel powerless for myself and helpless for the earth. Everyone lives a very selfish and serious life. When we eat beef, drink milk, drive a car, go to the supermarket, and blow the air conditioner, who will think of carbon dioxide; most of us will only complain about the hot weather, blame the extreme weather, or When I saw that there were flood casualties in the news, I sighed in my heart: "Fortunately, this did not happen here." But this is our human nature, otherwise there would be no such thing as gloating.
Some time ago, there was a traffic accident in my place that killed nine people, two cars and a large truck. And recently, I'm practicing for a driver's license test. Too many people are learning to drive, and it's very difficult to make an appointment for the test. Nowadays, cars are very cheap, and most people will own at least one car. The more people who learn to drive, the more people will buy a car. The more cars there are, the more prone to traffic accidents, of course, the most terrible thing is that carbon dioxide emissions will rise with it. But when driving a car, in addition to complaining about traffic jams, how many people care about the carbon dioxide produced by the car? Just blowing cold air in the car and then complaining that the road isn't wide enough, there are too many cars, etc. I'm not blaming people for not caring about the environment, I just think it's very difficult to get environmental protection into people's lives in a real sense. As long as it is a human being, it will start from personal interests first.
In China, where I live, although the concept of environmental protection has been proposed for a long time, it only stays at the conceptual level. There are too few people who really care about the environment. Maybe it is because we have not suffered enough. Too many, not enough to worry about the occurrence of natural disasters; maybe we are too busy and tired to live and have no time or energy to care about the air and mountains.
And I am incapable of dealing with these big issues. I can only try my best to love and respect nature. I know very well that the power of a person to love is small, but the power of a person to destroy will be great.
Also, I hope more people can watch this film.
