An Opinion Piece on the ideologies Around Achieving Sustainability

The Expansionist vs The Ecologist The move towards achieving sustainability brings to light the reality of the current state of the planet, the interference of human needs and the various schools of thoughts that have over time influenced the basis of global decisions. One very interesting part in the global ideology towards achieving sustainability is the direct pitching of the age-long believe of development at all cost of the “expansion ideology and of the concerned believe of the “conservative ecologists”. Another point to take note of again is the ever-conflicting objectives of both parties which in a way might never reach a point of overlapping. This is well reflected in the great ideology division that is greatly evident in the world today.

The Year the World Stood Still

An unusual year 2020, will ever remain a significant year in our contemporary history. A year that saw the whole world forced to an abrupt stop by the hand of a virus, and business-as-usual became almost totally impossible.   The busy streets do not have to wait till midnight to get empty in the last 3 months, even as all day long silence has become the new norm and staying indoors seems agreeable even to the most petulant person.   Rest time Looking at the situation from another perspective, while the human part of Earth’s ecosystem is held back on a compulsory break, the planet seems to be taking advantage of the situation to display its true nature in the face of mankind’s trying time.   There are many reports from all over the world showing the difference between a humanly controlled world and a-nature propelled world. The difference is well proven from facts and sights from everywhere in the world. A piece of possible non-negligible evidence could be seen
