What do most people think of when it comes to the word "chemical industry"? Pollution, danger, accidents, profiteering... something like that. But how many people know that aspirin was invented by the German chemical giant Bayer, and it has saved countless lives today; PA66 was invented by the American DuPont mentioned in the movie, and it is widely used in today's car airbags-- Yes, it is still a material that can save lives in thousands of dangerous moments; other, not to mention those chemical materials that profoundly change people's lives today: automotive lightweight, 5G, aerospace, this is also chemical industry. See, "Every coin has two sides"
It has to be admitted that Dark Water is a very good movie. It uses its perspective to expose the darkness of capital. How helpless the people in the movie are, it can highlight the shortcomings of the system. Everyone will eventually be conscience. The lawyers are moved, and they will praise the scientific rationality. But also remember the positive impact chemistry has had on the world. We have shed a lot of blood and tears before we have today's understanding of environmental protection. Any industry has experienced darkness before chasing the light. I like the pot hanging on the lawyer's wall very much. It is faith, vigilance, and hope.
Finally, as an investment manager of the best chemical park in China, I deal with chemical companies the most on weekdays. I can tell you responsibly that world-class chemical giants like DuPont have eaten in the past 50 or 60 years. Too much blood loss. Not to mention, safety, environmental protection, carbon emission reduction, and sustainability are about to be engraved in the DNA of their development. The chemical industry is also the first industry to put forward the concept of "responsible care". Compared with the average level of domestic chemical enterprises, the awareness of safety and environmental protection of foreign-funded enterprises is not a little bit higher. In the environment where I work, there are "World War II poisons" such as ammonia, phosgene, and chlorine that can kill people every minute, but they support the survival and development of thousands of downstream industries. Therefore, because of pollution, we Don't you? Are we shutting down because of the danger? Dancing with wolves is the greatest value output given by the wisdom of generations of people in this industry.
In the end, lawyers can correct the derailment of the industry from the consequences. What I can do is to grasp the standard threshold from the source. Maybe people are weak and weak, but there is always someone to do it, right?
