Ethical Intelligence by Sheel Khemka
It’s about that Eureka moment when you wake up one day and realise
that the world’s population is only increasing, and possibly exponentially.
Things just can’t carry on the way they are.
It’s just not sustainable.
And it’s not only about the climate.
It’s also the air quality, the quality of our neighbourhood - and of
nature. Also our basic self-respect as human beings, in having the right values, living in a civilised world ..
It’s also about keeping the world SAFE and relatively clean – for everyone, not just for us.
For future generations.
Let’s not forget all the other species who co-habit. They don’t pollute.
We simply can’t go on littering the planet, and on magnified, industrial scales at that - and believe that it won’t fester. That it will just disappear. Or indeed, bury our heads in the sand, in denial.
And then it’s about the oceans too. Now suddenly there’s the idea that sooner or later we’ll be literally swimming in our own s**t.
Ok, that’s a metaphor. Excuse the linguistics. But, God help us - let’s ensure this will, sure as steel, remain a metaphor.
