here is a huge difference in the yardstick of growth
of humankind today and the yardstick of growth
of humankind in the past. It was an era of different
thinking when the growth of humankind was evaluated on
the criteria of how controlled the life was with the minimum
usage of natural resources. At that time the exploitation of
nature was considered as a crime. Today the times have
changed, and all criteria have changed. Today your growth
is evaluated on the basis of consumption of it; the more you
consume the better your growth.
There are so many nations of the world whose only agenda
of meetings is how to handle the energy crisis. On one hand
the whole world is experiencing this crisis and on other hand
the consumption of resources is kept as the yardstick of
growth; in this situation the biggest challenge for the youth
is to choose the way out of the thinking of humankind and
the current situation of resources.
