Human has a long history exploiting nature to suit their interest. But nature is dynamic, most of a time it strikes back. It is easy to think that nature is actually living, it will not sit idly by when people destruct most of its fabric.
But the big question is, can human find a balance between its growing needs and at the same time preserving the vast natural resources.
This question of sustainability is not a new debate. It has been studied by many scholars for a very long time, and most certainly the study will never finished. We saw governments collaborating, forming various pact and committee to curb the problems. Universities set up their own environmental department to understand and develop sustainable development plan.
But the question remains. We may not find the answer. But if try really hard, at least we can look back one day and say “We tried”.
But before we can said that tomorrow, we must first ask ourself honestly today “Are we seriously trying our best?”
