A cry for Nature Conservation
As is depicted in the picture entitled “cries from our descendants”, a boy
is calling on his ancestors — citizens today throughout the world — to ensure a
better environment and a greater abundance of natural resources for future
generations. With a forced smile on the face, he is crying bitterly and
desperately. Such a scene can just put us deep in thought.
The drawer of the picture intends to force us to ask ourselves some very
thought provoking questions concerning nature conservation. Are we willing to be
more conservative in our life requirements, and are we willing to moderate our
use of the world's resources for our descendants? Can we, in fact, reduce our
consumption of petroleum, coal and electricity, in order to reduce the pollution
and environmental pressures created by excessive energy use and to allow others
to live a better life? Are we willing to spend more money for pollution control
and environmental restoration? Are we willing to devote more effort to
recycling? Can we moderate our demand for fat rich diets and super processed
convenience food? These are some of the central issues of the present?day world,
and ones on which the quality of present and future environments may depend.
As citizens in the modern world, it is our duty to give thought to the
living environment and conditions of our offspring. We must take positive
actions to remedy the worsening situation, which is sadly threatening to ruin
every corner of the world. Only in this way can the boy stop crying and show
some respect to his ancestors. |
