But we have gone beyond the destruction of our planet, creating poverty, social differences and wars struggling for wealth.There has been a climate change and a loss of biodiversity .

Governments had a go at boosting politics and lifestyle changes in order to people were able to adapt to new situation of our environment and improve that more and more. But those politics needed such an enormous investments in research and innovation.
All of us should have been aware of what we were doing with our environment and so we should have been able to involved in environmental issues. we should have been willing to think outside the box and have developed creative solutions but we started too late and we did not do enought. It was bound to be such an enormous catastrophe.
