Mahaprajnaparamitra Sutra *
Buddha said, “Basic ignorance does not exist inside of us nor outside of us nor elsewhere or inside and outside of us. It does not come from the previous life nor go away to the next life. It is neither born nor perishes. But basic ignorance exists, and basic ignorance causes everything of the phenomenal world. When basic ignorance is exterminated, everything of the phenomenal world will be exterminated too.
* This is often the first sutra within the different versions of the Chinese Buddhist Canon

(1959)
Man everywhere is still living in prehistory, and all and everything stands before the creation of the world, as a right one. True genesis is not at the beginning, but at the end, and it starts to begin only when society and existence become radical, that is grasp themselves by their roots. But the root of history is the working, creating human being who reshapes and overhauls the given facts.

The waste electrical and electronic equipment forum, or WEE forum, has published an alarming statistic.
In 2021, human beings will discard an estimated 57.4 million tonnes of electronic waste. That waste will outweigh the Great Wall of China, the world’s heaviest known construction.

We have built a civilization based on a world that doesn’t exist anymore. . . . We’ve never seen the climate change this fast so we don’t understand the non-linear effects.

Don’t ignore cause and effect.
