Comments on the picture

Some experts claim that humanity has less than 10 years to change the patterns of consumption and to reverse the trend before the damage will be too vast to be reversed.

This picture shows in a literal way that the Earth is egg- skinny sensitive formation that may be easily destroyed with no possible way back.

Industrialization, depletion of natural resources, nature littering, air & water pollution, bringing animals to extinction, over- population, over- consuming, all those are things that still may be stopped.

The change should be made on international level; by governments, organizations, companies, and to be implemented as a law.

Lack of political enforcement doesn’t relieve however individuals from the responsibility . A change needs to be realized and accepted as a necessity, and introduced into each’s everyday life.

The way of life needs to be changed, if we want us and future generations to be able to consume anything at all.
