Sustainable Development Goal - Fight for Climate Change

‘Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping.’ ― Hubert Reeves

We are living in a conflict era. On the one hand, we tend to rely too much on technology tools, which has generated environmental pollution. On the other hand, we seem to set big challenging goals in an attempt to free the world from the technology-pollution causality.

The United Nations’ ‘The SustainableDevelopment Goals’ are launched an appeal to live in a better and more sustainable future for all. They focus on several issues such as food shortage, climate change, inequality and justice. These world problems have existed for decades, some are even getting worse in recent years. Climate change is perhaps one of the invisible but quite urgent situations that all human beings face.

To think about climate changes that we face, we may hardly believe that each of us can really stop global warming by taking personal actions as it is regarded as a ‘big’ issue beyond our power to control and we continue to hope the government to take the whole responsibility. In other words, we are not counting personal activities which contribute to carbon emissions, leaving this technological numbers to the government. In part due to human inertia—being comfortable and convenient in the present moment, in part because of lacking strategies to practice environmental-friendly behaviours in everyday life such as recycling or reducing plastic bags.

Mother nature does not negotiate. Climate change response can't wait! In fact, both individuals and governments need to take their actions at different levels.

At present, autumn leaves are covering York. We are happy to embrace the coming season at the right time and temperature.

永續發展目標 - 對抗氣候變遷

‘人是最瘋狂的物種。他敬拜無形的上帝，毀滅無形的自然。不知道他要摧毀的這個自然就是他敬拜的上帝。’

―休伯特·里夫斯

我們正生活在1個衝突時代。一方面，我們傾向於過度依賴技術工具，這已經造成了環境污染。另一方面，我們似乎設定了具有挑戰性的目標，要使世界擺脫技術污染的因果關係。

 “永續發展目標”是聯合國發起的，呼籲所有人生活在一個更好，更可持續的未來。他們關注一些問題，例如糧食短缺，氣候變化，不平等和正義。這些世界問題已經存在了數十年，近年來有些情況甚至更加嚴重。氣候變化也許是全人類面臨的無形但非常緊急的情況之一。

考慮到我們面臨的氣候變化，我們可能幾乎不相信我們每個人都可以通過採取個人行動來真正阻止全球暖化，因為這被認為是我們無法控制的“大”問題，我們總是希望政府採取行動來付起全部責任。換句話說，我們沒有計算會導致碳排放的個人活動，而是將這些技術數字留給了政府。部分原因是由於人類的惰性-習慣以舒服的方式生活，部分原因是缺乏在日常生活中實踐環保行為的策略,例如資源回收,少用塑膠袋。

大自然不會談判。 氣候變化的反應迫不及待！ 實際上，個人和政府都需要在不同層面上採取行動。

目前，秋天的落葉正覆蓋著約克。 我們很高興在合適的時間和溫度下迎接即將到來的季節。
