Dubai, one of the largest construction sites in the world, made me believe that anything is possible. In this country that makes the impossible possible, there are artificial islands in the sea, a skyscraper taller than a single one, and snowy roads in the middle of the desert. Dubai is a resource-poor country, but its wealth through oil has enabled it to trade millions of tons of raw materials and human resources from around the world. Dubai has no agricultural land, but can import food; Dubai has no water source, but it can desalinate seawater at a huge cost; Dubai has abundant sunshine, but without solar panels, it can still be bright all night. The world is becoming more and more exaggerated, and the wildest dreams can come true. Dubai is the ultimate imitation development in the West. From the 8,000-meter-high totem to the complete modern society, it has surprised the world. It is like a symbol of global wealth. At the same time, the residents in the other corner of the world are worrying about drinking water every day; at the same time, the residents in the other corner of the world are still slashing and burning. Civilization may have given us so many incredible revelations that we have to believe in the infinite power of human beings. Indeed, there is no place in the world that is farther from nature than Dubai, but no place is more reliant on nature than Dubai. This city just follows the development model of developed countries, and every trace and every inch of such a development model is violent consumes the power of nature. Therefore, what we should understand more now is that we are depleting the reserves of nature and destroying the life cycle given by God.
The story of Rapa Nui, the inhabitants of Easter Island, may be more reflective. The most remote inhabitants in the world exploited the island's resources to the fullest, leaving nothing behind, and their civilization disappeared. The tallest palm tree in the world once stood here, but now it's gone. The real mystery of Easter Island is not the strange statues on the island, it is why the local islanders did not remedy it in time, it is just a legend, but it is closely related to our current situation, the environment we live in is facing such problems: cities such as Dubai , or the country is developing on a large scale, and such development needs to consume the most primitive reserves of nature, and these reserves cannot be regenerated and recycled, and our world cannot be left for only 20 years, or 50 years in the future, our world will continue to exist for hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even hundreds of millions of years. Our development all the time depends on nature. If the reserves of nature are exhausted, what will happen?
Since humans appeared on the earth 200,000 years ago, our civilization is only 3,000 years old, and it was only 600 years ago that the world had the first city. From the generation of the first fire, which liberated human beings from basic farming power, to the oil that liberated human beings from the constraints of time, allowing some people to enjoy unprecedented comfort. We are in this 200,000-year history, but I occupy all the living space, and I am changing it, making it happen. At this time, we are here to be the protagonists, benefiting from the legacy of the earth's 4 billion years, although only 2 billion years old, But we have changed the face of the world, albeit with weaknesses. But we have taken all habitats, conquered all lands, and no creature has ever tried to do it. Indeed "life is a miracle, the world is a miracle".
The environment we depend on for survival has also begun to change because of our rapid development. In the atmosphere, the main air currents have changed direction, the rain cycle has been altered, and the geographic climate has been altered. Low-lying islands, such as the Maldives, will bear the brunt of inundation. Every day, glaciers are melting and coral reefs are decreasing. It seems that these have nothing to do with us, but the ecological chain of the whole world is being broken and the ecological balance is changing. This is not only a matter for scientists, but also for us.
We are dealing with the sophistication around us without putting ourselves into a broader perspective to see the world. We can not only do the things in front of us, but in our spare time, we can join some organizations and participate in some activities to let more people understand the plight of our living environment. Our country has a complex and changing terrain. Yes, we can learn from the excellent experience of some countries, make use of nature, and live in harmony with nature. In the desert areas of the west, we can also build solar power plants; on the southern coast, we can build wind power plants like Denmark. Adapt measures to local conditions and change according to the situation. What matters is not what has passed, but what we have. What are we waiting for? We not only need to change the environment, but also maintain the environment, so that the benefits of both parties will continue forever, and let’s add a little strength to the environment on which we live.
