Engels said ... we should not be too intoxicated with our victory over nature. Every time such a victory, nature retaliates against us. "Isn't it? From the appearance of forest ape180,000 years ago to the highly developed civilization era of human beings, human beings have never stopped asking for nature, and naturally they are "responsive", which further breeds human greed. They wantonly cut down trees on the earth, set up chemical plants and discharge pollutants and wastes. As a result, once the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the blue mother earth looked devastated and filthy. Why isn't this chilling?
At this point, mankind has not realized the seriousness of the problem, and still goes its own way, exchanging environmental pollution and ecological destruction for economic development. Let me give you a recent example:
In the early 1950s, Mulan River in our city was originally a crystal clear river, with fish and shrimp swarming everywhere, with children splashing and women washing rice and vegetables. However, in recent years, due to the neglect of environmental protection in factories such as Mulan Sugar Factory in the upper reaches of the river, the water quality of Mulan River has deteriorated and fish and shrimp have disappeared at will. Looking at the black foam floating on the stream and the dead chickens and ducks, who dares to swim in the river and wash clothes and cook with the river water? Farmers on both sides of the river irrigated their crops with polluted water, which reduced their output. Farmers have repeatedly asked the county authorities to solve the pollution problem, but for some reason, they have been dragging their feet.
Didn't the foam and livestock carcasses in Mulan River sound a wake-up call for us? When will the extinct fish and shrimp in the stream return?
Of course, environmental problems are not limited to these, such as the eight major public hazards in the world, Minamata disease in Japan and painful diseases. ...
