Photosynthetic Pets (Nature and Annoyance)
My “dream for the future” when I was in middle school was to “develop plants that move.”
What I was most interested in was “global warming” in general. When I hear that what promotes global warming the most is cow burp, I've been thinking about “development of food (plants) that are difficult to burp,” and if I learn that it is green (plants) that absorb CO2 emitted by living things (animals), “development of green (plant) creatures (animals) that can go anywhere.”
The CO2 we emit is absorbed by our own pets (moving plants) and oxygen is supplied. In such a world, I wanted to create a society where people can live in a way that is kind to the earth.
So, when I was in middle school and high school, I wanted to go to the Faculty of Agriculture! I want to contribute to creating a new environment! I kept thinking, but luckily or unlucky, for some reason I passed the recommended entrance exam application form that I couldn't decline if I passed it, and it came to an end in the form that I had no choice but to change my long-standing dream.
However, studying medicine was also fun, probably because of my memories of being affected by the disaster (Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake) when I was in my first year of high school, so I decided to take a new path.
Then, while living a different way of life “now,” I accidentally thought that “moving plants” were necessary again, and I began to remember my dreams in the past.
It started because it was hit by the heavy rain disaster in western Japan. Of course, “global warming” is fundamentally in the background, but this time, from the background where many precious lives were lost due to “landslides due to heavy rain,” I thought that if mountains and forest trees that cannot be touched by humans moved on their own and worked to prevent sediment disasters, the number of people who died could have decreased slightly.
However, it is also true that humans left nature and the earth unattended until this happened and did not work out countermeasures.
I live near Arima Onsen. It's also a summer resort. Recently, I've been putting a digital thermometer in my room, and the temperature in my room is “wow!!!” in winter and summer It turns out that there is a temperature difference as much as I thought. (You can feel it on your skin if it's clearly different from the old days).
This year's intense heat, intense heat. The temperature in the coolest room at the northern end has reached 35 degrees, hasn't it? Last winter, even though it was inside my room, the temperature was below freezing.
Every day I'm keenly aware of why I haven't properly thought about “global warming” even more.
Aren't the monks also getting heatstroke in the temple?
How do you view global warming?
