When humans invented the steam train, they created fast travel, but they also caused train accidents. When they invented the automobile, they created easy transportation, but they also caused the pollution that clogs our lungs and dirtys our cities. When they discovered nuclear energy, they provided electricity to hundreds of millions, but they produced radioactive waste and the tragedies of Chernobyl and Fukushima, where thousands of human and plant lives were destroyed.
Humanity's technological capabilities have become enormous. Equally, the consequences of this technological power have become enormous. It may be frightening, for for the first time in human history, humans are responsible for the sky and the earth, the seas, oceans, and rivers, space, animals, trees, flowers, and plants.
