Nature is clearly rebelling. Natural disasters and
cataclysms have been more and more frequent and their brutality has increased
in recent years. We ourselves have certainly had a taste of frightening
scenarios noticing either too hot
weather or rather stormy winds which inevitably have been haunting our lives.
The only certainty we have is that this impressive upheaval
is due to an enormous industrial activity on the planet. Our world is
characterised by a frenzy to make more and more money: at the same time,
mankind has been increasingly producing rubbish, which has the worrying feature
of being indestructible.
Therefore, everyone can draw a precise conclusion and
recognize capitalism as the reason of today’s issues: the majority of
well-to-do people owns more than what they really need.
Most of us have bumped into Greta Thunberg's protest surfing
the Net or watching the news. She's a 16-year-old environmental activist
who, despite her tender age, decided to commit herself to this massive issue. As
she said in a recent speech, "On climate change, we have to
acknowledge that we have failed”, since we have never treated the climate
crisis as a real crisis. Unfortunately, these troubles exist and are
endangering our lives.
If the economic system is responsible for our dangerous reality, we ought to start using our wealth and our advancemments in science and technology in order to find strategies to preserve life on Earth.
