Healthy nature fading away everyday

(Special article in the participation for www.blogactionday.org)

Usually people blame industries about polluting the earth and causing climate change. No ones ever think that everyone is the root of the problem. I meant human have to share the responsibility.

In the developed countries, everything is to be convenient. For example, plastic water bottles are cheap as the cost of production may be cheap. However, the production of water bottles emits carbon dioxide. This example may be weak. Think about the production of cans. Can’t people just use water container, instead? Can the city provide clean water?

Human is also stupid and greedy. In the car industry, until today, I have no idea why the car companies keep on the production where the demand is low. In the business perspective, mass production may result the reduction in production cost. But, useless or unneeded cars become pieces of mixed useless materials. Not only that, the production of useless cars means the unnecessary emission of carbon dioxide. People don’t think about the consequence, do they?

Although recycling may help reducing the destruction of the nature like forest or water, recycling also emit carbon.

Hence, more production and more waste means more carbon emission. More carbon emission means the increment in temperature. I only wrote on what I could think of. Additionally, I think it is impossible to return the nature back to the way it used to be. Nevertheless, I believe that if we think carefully about everything we use, we could stall the climate change. It is not only for our generation. This is for the future generation.

Interesting fact about aircraft landing in Japan

From Mainichi Daily News (毎日新聞)

たとえば、羽田から搭乗率70%で飛来したボーイング777-300(525人乗り)が福岡空港に着陸した場合、停留4時間と仮定して、着陸料、停留料、保安料、航行援助施設利用料の合計86万2955円を毎回国に支払う。

(An airline must pay a total of 862,955 yen in landing, parking, security and navigation-assistance facility use fees to an airport whenever a Boeing 777-300 jet, with 70 percent of its 525 seats occupied, lands and stays there for four hours.)

The monetary cost of landing and construction is not as much as the damage to environment which is caused by them.

I am kinda surprised on the fact that it costs quite a lot to land a single large plane and everything is considered.
