Currently, one million hectares of tropical rainforest are being destroyed every month. This deforestation eradicates plants and animals that have their natural habitat here. This is just one of many examples of violent destruction, where often people also suffer harm. The cause of these devastations and irreversible damages is a one-dimensional way of thinking, which is often observed in people who are given power and responsibility. Social considerations or ecological concerns are of secondary importance. In a compelling plea, the author calls for multidimensional thinking that positively impacts quality of life and the environment.
