69. Sustainable World
Landfilled Island from the SeasI think our world is facing a huge problem. Rubbish which we generated is going to give us huge problems ahead. The problems are in three areas
1) Too much rubbish. Everyday we produce too much rubbish. When we visit super market we can see a piece of food or fruit, it has 200% or 300% packaging all over it. We are in the era of over-packaging.
2) Too much of burning: Every day we burn away the unused petrol waste, we burn away the rubbish. We will generate extra tons of CO2, this CO2, heat and water vapor trapped in the air. When it cools down the rain will just pouring over the land. The water is not going to falling back to the ocean. It will continue falling on the farming land. Massive floods will occur on the lands everywhere.
3) The present uncontrollable spending economical structure will bring the world to a point of self destruction. We cleverly created a self-locked system which prevents us from getting out of this dire situation. We are the victim of the system we created. The first we experience is a drastic climate change worldwide.
More measured are urgently needed.
Landfilled (for example Seamkau landfilled island above) may be the answer for item one. But there are no solution on sight for items 2 and 3.
Let's start putting effort in material and energy conservation. Use foods, material and energy more efficiently.
