We might get tired of hearing about environment, climate change, saving this and that... But while fads change and public interest wavers, human development continues to advance into areas where nature used to be. While we print out our e-mails or buy small cute packages of whatever we like to consume, another tree may fall... A question from introduction to philosophy: "If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Let's think together.
