1. INTODUCING
We are now living in the beginning of a new millennium. I remembered how we celebrated 2000s with such big bliss and fireworks all over the world, for a long road that humanity had gone through. But humorously, the time of us is somehow called Apocalypse. The growing fear of the end world makes people started to think about it more seriously. In many eschatology, there would be a appearance of a supernatural being who will make the judgment in the last scene of humankind along with cracking Earth and mighty sky (Pentecost 1965). However, we should notice that our blue sky started to vanish eventually the End time hasn’t happened yet. The ozone has been depleted since 1970s (Rubin 2001). In Beijing, literally, we cannot see a blue sky because of pollution (Beijing no longer counting 'blue sky days', 2012). Expectation for the last act of any God is unnecessary because human involvements that matter human’s ultimate destiny actually.
The Earth that more than 4.5 billion old (Dalrymple 2001), but only 200 thousand years survive of humankind (McHenry 2009) that bring the risk of ending to Earth. What did we do to cause all the environmental problems like global warming, deforestation or pollution…? We are proud of our intelligence that created a whole new way of living, very difference from other animals’: urbanization, industrialization, modernization, digitalization…Natural resources are exploiting more efficiently.
