World Environmental Day

Yesterday, on the 5th of June, is the World Environmental Day. This is a day that marks the importance of Earth's sustainance in the field of greenhouse gas control, food allocation, scarce resource maintanance as well as protecting the ozone layer.
In truth, the nature of Earth design can last throughout the aeons, while man, after the industrial revolution, is fasting changing the Earth climax at a rate that is surprising in statue, that Earth may be at risk of becoming unsustainable for current human population growth well into the 22nd and 23rd century. We may see tomorrow, though if we do not change our method of living, I fear our great-grandchildren may be facing a revolution of survival in an Earth that may only cater to a population of an estimated 3 billion when all of us understood that today's population is already 6 billion and growing.
Well, modern day scientist, architect, engineers and politician have seen the severity of this problem. New technology is fast embracing the recycleable nature of material, the reduction in pollutions and new strains of food produce that may sustain food for a growing population. At present, from a vegetarian insight, saving Earth is possible when everyone on Earth becomes vegetarian, for 10kg of plant crop is needed to sustained 1 kg of animal meat, and thus, by being vegetarian, I feel that the food cycle is much more efficient and balanced. The only issue in this case, is to control the animal population level by humane means. Another insight is more crops available actually contribute to a more favourable balance of greenhouse gas and crop rotation helps to alleviate the soil fertility. From a scientist point of view, cars and factories may embrace biofuels resources for cleaner emission, though in my heart, I believe that hydrogen fuel cell that may be available in 2050, will be the savior for the future, as energy becomes as free and clean as water. Architecture should embrace sustainable in design for energy renewal, clean source of energy conversion, like solar voltaic cell and wind power and many other intricacies in design that saves, store or allocate energy with efficacy.
Friends, at this moment, I understand about the entropy issue being a field of concern for man. Many scientists stick to the old notion that entropy can only increase in a higher disorder direction, though I understood that apart from entropy transfering from one source to another, I feel that entropy can actually be reversible, and this may ascertain the joy that planet Earth may live in glory for many centuries from now.
