Nature and Human Activity

Watching the devastation, suffering, death and poverty in Haiti after the earthquake I couldn't stop thinking about our degree of guiltiness. Nature is pitiless but human activity and ambition are also to blame: wild deforestation, insane construction, corruption.
This is why I remembered the first blog I started for the project Nature and Human Activity. Students, in their own way, studied our influence on environment. And here we are, facing one of the greatest catastrophes for the whole community.
What we do has consequences! Had our students learnt only this idea when they finished school, we could be proud of them!
Or not?
