Production or Destruction
Each construction of concrete could turned into a coffin in the future.
Compared to the beginning of the 20th century, human's civilization is developing rapidly today in terms of technology and economy. But this has been accompanied by endless wars between the countries and the destruction of the environment.
Human's activities, like industrial and economic production, even the social actions, destroyed the environment, as well as our own home. The formerly clear river water became muddy, the formerly blue sky became gray, and it becomes difficult to see wildlife even when we talk a walk in the woods.
The politicians have said a lot of words to defend the environment. But the lack of collective action has led to each country and every person working in isolation and lacking effective measures. The environment has not improved as a result, but rather extreme weather is becoming more frequent.
If we don't take responsibility for our actions, would each construction of concrete built now turned into a coffin in the future?
