       | an immediate action that is relatively easy to do. It is way
       | easier to ban building factories in certain area than to ban
       | factories altogether. Without national parks being established in
       | twentieth century, these places would be destroyed.

       | The only way for people to live in perfect harmony with nature
       | would be to abandon all economical growth and that's unlikely to
       | happen. The easiest thing to do is to preserve and reduce our
       | influence.
