First by foot, then by horse, and now by car, that’s how man travels from A to B and transports his goods. Back then, man has burdened the environment with dung, now he does so with exhaust fumes. Today, man is able to avoid the former problem of cholera and to work against environmental pollution.

A change is needed. Man’s egoistic pursuit of profit has to fade from the spotlight if problems are to be solved. Gaining profit is often the only motivating force, whether or not something, such as nature, suffers from it. People only try to find a solution if there is the prospect of gain, either now or in the near future. But how much time is left for us? It may be that a company presently gains higher profits by means of their activities, but in the end no one will win, only evolution.
