EDITORIAL words: I saw Mr. Lu Tongjing film economic growth, stocks with the money is still on the edge of the topic, not really into our blood. I am not an extreme environmentalist, not an idealist, I'm not demanding everyone's life and spending habits of all all of a sudden environmental protection, but I hope people who read this article and can no longer just concerned about the immediate, four or five decades the world looked up to view the future, with wise eyes, and start today Action, even if only a little bit of action. because the environment has always been everybody's business, not so my thoughts will not stop a little bit, but can not think of clue.
This photo was taken in Inner Mongolia, the locals raised goats all wore colorful clothes. I think many people in the first saw this picture is going to be like me, laugh, joke or conjecture is performance art. but if you carefully line the small print below the photo read, you may not be so easy smile the.
reason why these goats dressed, not because of aesthetics or cold, or a joke, but because of the grasslands grassland degradation caused by overgrazing, desertification, goats lack of food, had similar hair as their own food. These goats hair, which is cashmere, it is an important source of economic income of local people. Therefore, local people in order to prevent goats eat their wealth, there is a picture that was dressed up in colorful clothes and goats. < br> I have read after he took the photo to see many of my colleagues, they are the first time I heard such a thing. We who live in the city, feeding from the supermarket, get clothes at the mall, it is easy to overlook between ourselves and nature has always existed but invisible dependencies. we seem to know, but often overlooked, is that thousands of miles away, maybe we will not go where life in the sustained us in the city consumption. in the mall trying on a cashmere sweater, you do not know the soft, warm, expensive clothing was actually lost forever to the beautiful prairie of the cost of production was able to come out. We complain about Beijing in the spring due to dust storms eclipsed the time did not know who wore the sweater is raging dust storms in Beijing, one of the reasons. It is because of this asymmetric information, making those of us who live in the city, he complained environmental and ecological degradation the one hand, consumption has been through our very serious environmental issues, They may damage the environment in other ways. Indeed, the local people need money to survive, while cashmere is known as their descendants live there, how do?
I think this is everyone has the answer, including the local people. But there is a paradox that afflicts all those who hold the philosophy of environmental protection. Now, , is now, those who live in the grasslands of people need to survive, their standard of living near the poverty line has been. For them, the means of production and sale of cashmere a year to buy a new dress, can ill old mother to buy a little cheaper drugs to children to buy a cheap toy. The material needs of people compared to big cities just grasp the balance? When the stock market roared up in a city that everyone clamoring to share in the fruits of economic development in China, how can we let those in the most basic industries struggling to survive on the Chinese people share the fruits of economic development it ?
In fact, the short term, local production of cashmere bear a larger extent the consequences of damage to grassland, such as desertification, loss of groundwater, etc., and even the survival of losing their ancestral homeland, an ecological refugees. The use of cashmere sweater manufacturing business, consumer spending cashmere sweater but did not assume they get the price match.
I google a bit and learned that cashmere production in China accounts for 80% of the world, and the quality is the best. to see, if fully implemented extensive stocking, carrying the grasslands of China is the world's cashmere almost needs. Fortunately, I see now from the Internet, the Chinese government has begun to adopt a measures, have begun to guide the feeding place of grazing by herders to raise goats. Although only one fifth of the goats are reared in the feeding mode, but a ray of hope after all hope of improvement.
but I still want to say Although the network news cashmere cashmere experts say not only goods, but also a resource, but the wool as a non-environmentally friendly goods, is not essential for human survival and development resources, we can use cotton or other more environmentally friendly materials instead.
, of course, one of the characteristics of human different from animals, because one can be more intelligent, more dynamic, the more flexible solution to the survival and development we are facing difficulties. We can now take Pasture to forest : the pursuit of wealth and power, or symbols of wealth or power, have helped us more than other animals, greedily sucking the milk of Mother Nature. wearing clothes sheep tip of the iceberg. Tibetan antelope can be made by fanatical pursuit of the West ; shark fin because of human needs as food on the table to show off the fins were cut off alive, and then the loss of the fins can not swim, sank and was starved to death. At this moment, each person most need to do is not to blame, criticism of the bloody crusade against those who are making these events the people, but should ask ourselves: I do not is the initiator of these bloody events? I really have so much power to be obtained from the earth up?
second question if you The answer is no, please put your consciousness from now into action, to do an environmentally friendly person.
