"Man and the Environment"
The lungs of the earth are burning, the forests disappear, the ice melts and the world overturns.
It is easy to suppress that there is only one earth, one inhabited planet, as we know reality. That earth which is a home for us all. Animals, plants, humans and other organisms are united under the same atmosphere in complex relationships.
Environment can be both internal and external, including surrounding conditions, physical and social alike - within the family, at work, at school, on the street.
Nature and culture, by and large.
Some fight for peace, democracy and diversity. Some seek other routes.
How do we live, with whom and in what ways? What is sustainable?
How do we affect the environment and how does the environment affect us?
What is sustainability?
We are in a constant struggle in constant interaction with each other, which is now open to your interpretation.
“Man and the Environment” does not just encapsulate our relationship to nature, but rather our entire context.
