That night. <br>I intensely researched the Earth's crisis. I thought this must be what it means to have one's eyes opened. <br>The more I researched, the more I realized Earth was truly in crisis. <br>Continuously increasing CO2 levels, the vicious cycle of global warming causing accelerated releases of methane gas, human society's unbreakable dependence on fossil fuels, endless competition for resources, the constant wars and conflicts that occur because of that. <br> I sighed, thinking it would be nice if Doraemon would create a pill that removes human greed. <hr> I was so disappointed, that at dinner I ended up telling my twin brother sitting next to me, and he just scoffed at me. <br>That's awful. <br>Even soccer—which he loves— might become impossible to play outdoors if environmental destruction and rising temperatures continue like this. <br>Even those honeybees, that when we were little in the woods during a family camping trip, and we poked their nest and were chased and had a terrible time, are now on the verge of total extinction!! <br>That's what I told him. <hr> <i>If humanity is better off without desire, then you don't need your seasoned seaweed either~</i> <br>I got so angry when he said he would take it. <br>I think that's a completely different issue! My younger twin doesn't understand at all, but while looking at him, I reflected on <br>how I used to be. <br>That night I stayed up researching information about environmental issues, and the next day I overslept a little and was late. <br>It was the first time in my life I was late. <br>I was so disappointed.
