Dear friend,
From the Arctic to Africa, the Earth is feeling the effects of climate change. The environment is deteriorating. The ocean, the land, and the air are suffering a process of degradation – with unpredictable consequences. The exploitation of natural resources for economic growth has resulted in environmental degradation. Oil and gas exploration, road constructions and mining hinder many aspects of the natural environment, like the degradation of forests and water pollution. As the world population keeps rising and economic growth takes center stage, the depletion of natural resources affected by the unsustainable extraction of raw materials becomes an increasing concern.
One day in the future, our overpopulated planet will reach more than 10 billion people, and experts are already discussing all possible problems our humanity might face. This place we call home is only a speck in the vast universe: but it is the only place where can survive.
Something needs to be done. What is our responsibility?
