Protecting Nature and the Environment

We live in a world with limited resources, and we have a responsibility to protect nature and preserve the environment, as we are using resources in advance for our descendants.

The various natural environmental disasters of today cannot be free from human intervention.

It takes a long time to restore the environment once it has been damaged, and it is difficult to estimate how many decades it will take for the natural restoration of the area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant caused by the Japanese earthquake.

In the sky, we are anxious about when and where used satellite debris will fall, and on the ground, all kinds of industrial waste emits a foul odor. To make matters worse, industrially advanced countries are unable to process their industrial waste, so they export it to African countries such as Ghana and Bongo.

To this end, the United Nations held a conference on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as through climate agreements, but it seems that the results were not as expected due to the work of countries with vested interests.

In this way, recognizing the seriousness of our natural environment that we are borrowing from our descendants but not establishing countermeasures can be seen as a dulling of the senses to the convenience that comes with industrialization.

This reminds me of the story of a certain chef who enjoyed the thrill of tasting blowfish poison by gradually increasing the amount, but at one point ended up dying from ingesting a fatal amount.

We need to minimize our impact on the environment in advance so that we can laugh later, but this is the opposite of the meaning of 'laugh first and cry later', and it can be said to have the same meaning as the opposite of 'you cry first when you face difficulties, but you laugh later'.

As such, the meaning of the main character's story about one fact is too difficult for ordinary people to understand.
