Features: Every discipline is a towering mountain, filled with mystery and temptation. When we began writing the book "Environmentally Friendly Communities," apart from temptation, what we felt more strongly was awe and a sense of responsibility! When Einstein discovered the inherent structure of matter, he experienced an unprecedentedly powerful and awe-inspiring beauty, and nature is undoubtedly the epitome of God's beauty. During the process of writing this book, as we encountered knowledge related to ecology, environment, and resources, we were constantly struck by the realization: in the face of nature, humanity is small, and humanity's in conquering nature, besides revealing the darkness and arrogance of reason, can show nothing else. The renowned Greek scholar C.A. Doxiadis pointed out: If we wait until we have a complete understanding of each ecosystem, or even wait until we have a complete scientific understanding of every aspect before taking action, it will be too late. We must take action based on the knowledge we currently possess.
Yes, the initiative in China to build environmentally friendly communities is just such an action. This action is clearly a result of reflection on human arrogant reason, and it is through this that we have gained the passion and fulfillment of our creation.
