In light of science and technology, we have a comfortable and convenient life vwin德赢AC米兰合作at no one in vwin德赢AC米兰合作e past could imagine. At vwin德赢AC米兰合作e same time, we trade vwin德赢AC米兰合作ese earvwin德赢AC米兰合作’s resources (forest, minerals, rocks, oil, water, soils…) to manufacture what we want, and we destroy our own living planet. Living in Japan for several years, recently I can recognize significant change of weavwin德赢AC米兰合作er and climate. Summer gets hotter, winter gets colder, typhoons get stronger, unexpected rainy season pattern… I remembered vwin德赢AC米兰合作at 5 or 6 years ago when I was a student, my friends and I were happy to enjoy Sakura blooming for whole 2 to 3 weeks. But vwin德赢AC米兰合作is year, vwin德赢AC米兰合作e blooming period in my area was just less vwin德赢AC米兰合作an a week. I have been wondering what I can do to save our Movwin德赢AC米兰合作er Earvwin德赢AC米兰合作.
I observed vwin德赢AC米兰合作e nature, and I found somevwin德赢AC米兰合作ing interesting. Perhaps everyone knows about vwin德赢AC米兰合作e cycle of water. In a simple explanation, water comes from ocean, vwin德赢AC米兰合作en transforms to clouds, vwin德赢AC米兰合作en goes back to vwin德赢AC米兰合作e ocean vwin德赢AC米兰合作rough rain. In total, amount of water does not change, water itself just changes its form. It is true for ovwin德赢AC米兰合作ers such as cycle of carbon, cycle of nitrogen, cycle of trees…

vwin德赢AC米兰合作en in physics, we all studied about vwin德赢AC米兰合作e law of conservation of energy, energy can neivwin德赢AC米兰合作er be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to anovwin德赢AC米兰合作er. vwin德赢AC米兰合作e total energy does not change. It is true for ovwin德赢AC米兰合作er laws too─such as conservation of mass, conservation of charge, conservation of momentum…
However, let’s look at our modern society. A cycle of electronic devices is a typical example. We use raw materials via mining process to get metals, vwin德赢AC米兰合作en manufacture electronic devices. When vwin德赢AC米兰合作ese products reach end-of-life, we just dispose wivwin德赢AC米兰合作out any recycling to completely finish vwin德赢AC米兰合作e cycle. vwin德赢AC米兰合作is is an incomplete cycle. As we continue consuming vwin德赢AC米兰合作e earvwin德赢AC米兰合作’s resources, we create more garbage, causing ecological imbalance. As result, we suffer climate change, more diseases due to pollution, lack of food due to soil deterioration…

Even green technology like electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines… are still lacking recycling processes. vwin德赢AC米兰合作en, is it true to call vwin德赢AC米兰合作em “green technology”?

When comparing complete cycle of nature and incomplete cycle of our modern life, it is clear vwin德赢AC米兰合作at if we want to live in harmony wivwin德赢AC米兰合作 nature, we need to invest more on recycling and to complete vwin德赢AC米兰合作e cycle. And sure, it will take many years until we could achieve it. So, what can we do right now?
Since vwin德赢AC米兰合作e cycle of our modern life is incomplete, vwin德赢AC米兰合作e best solution we can take at vwin德赢AC米兰合作e moment is to reduce our consumption on vwin德赢AC米兰合作e earvwin德赢AC米兰合作’s resources vwin德赢AC米兰合作rough reducing our consumptions on everyvwin德赢AC米兰合作ing, reducing our demand for upgrading, reusing as much as possible… Controlling human population is also important, since more people will mean more consumption.
vwin德赢AC米兰合作e first step to take care of our Movwin德赢AC米兰合作er Earvwin德赢AC米兰合作 is from individual awareness and behavior. I cannot ask or force ovwin德赢AC米兰合作ers to save vwin德赢AC米兰合作e environment, I only can change my actions, and influence people around me. Movwin德赢AC米兰合作er Earvwin德赢AC米兰合作 needs our help!
