Love Makes Beauty

With the fantastic spur both in industry and economy，the past 100 years has seen how modernization and civilization has affected mankind. Recently，Copenhagen is being a focus for its Climate Change Conference. A majority of people hold the belief that climate change is the pressing threat for mankind.

However，acknowledging the great abundance of harms that the changing climate will bring，I‘d say the most immediate threat is just ourselves. I always imagine a view of life filled with fresh air and various flowers swung in gentle wind. But the reality shows this is a real fantasy. With the fantastically developing industry and the rising number of personal cars，not only the air but also the water is at risk universally. For example，what used to be a pride for Ruianees was Tang River，the clean and clear mother river of Ruian. But with time going by，it was seriously polluted and gradually turned into the biggest block of development. What upsets us most is that such a situation is spreading countryside. It seems that citizens on the earth care little about their land，which directly causes further consequences.

How can we deal with environmental problems?There is no doubt that this topic is complicated and unstable as well. But the irreplaceable way，in my thought，is love，love for the earth. It is love that makes beauty，and nothing else will do.

Some say love is a river that drowns the tender reed;some say love is a hunger，an endless，aching need. I say love is a flower，and you，are the only seed.

Heal the world

Nowadays，world leaders are in Copenhagen talking about climate change. Who has such a strong power to gather them from busy work?It‘s our mother——the Earth that has told her kids to start to heal the environment for the pressing threats they are facing now.

It‘s commonly thought that lots of countries are blind to the protection of environment while developing the country. And as the quality of life has developed，many families have its own car. As a result，more and more CO2 has caused the earth to be a “Green House”。If no measure is taken，a large number of kids won’t see the lovely and beautiful snow in winter before long.

To my delight，some people have been concerned about the environment. The movie >is just a good example. It took me 150 minutes to watch the movie. At the same time，I spent a long time considering the meaning which the movie wants to tell people. When the world is at an end，can anyone heal themselves?It‘s obvious that the answer is No. It’s commonly accepted that what the director wants to tell people is that we should take measures to beautify the environment at once or we‘ll die soon.

In a word，the environment pollution is a matter of life and death——a matter no country can afford to ignore. People all over the world are supposed to spare no effort to heal the world. Let‘s take action from here and now!

人鱼公主跃入大海处，漾起一朵轻轻的浪花。当童话世界与现实世界融在一起，人们会有怎样的联想？

刚刚结束的哥本哈根气候大会，是一场保护地球与共同发展的较量，吸引了全世界的关注。

毋须多言，地球的环境问题正越来越痛地刺透我们和地球母亲的神经，水资源问题，大气污染问题，生态环境整体稳定问题……最终人们似乎达成了一致——低碳生活，但是，发展与环境保护的问题始终存在。

近二百年来是西方资本主义国家的时代，工业时代的号角刚起，在发展、利益的促进下西方人开始疯狂地原始积累——强制贸易，非法殖民，大量的矿产资源其实是他们的主要驱动力之一。犹如烟花的一瞬间释放，地球的血脉——油、气、矿开始为人类大量攫取利用，于是欧洲开始了快速的发展，强盛之路。而今的发达国家，孰不是靠破坏与污染起家？

现在，发达国家还没停止发掘的脚步，他们所提出的限制发展中国家污染排放，在已知这些国家处理污染能力的前提下，又怎能不被人看作是限制发展中国家发展的一剂猛药？现实是一种不公平，让我们听听来自中国的普通农民的心声：

“我父母种了一辈子地，这两年生活刚刚好起来，新购置了下乡的家电，有冰箱、电视等，父母有些乐呵。可是，如果限制排碳标准施行的话，这些家电就都不能用了，农村的生活质量就一点也提高不了……怎么办呢？真希望父母多一些娱乐和自由……”。这样的声音在国内的农村地区很响。谁都不想破坏环境，可为什么我们与发达国家的生活质量要相差那么多？

环境保护与发展问题的矛盾就这样始终存在，气候大会结束了也是如此，公平与竞争恐怕是人类发展永恒的主题……

在这样一个充满了幻想与美丽的城市，真希望在安徒生笔下，看到一个真实世界的美丽童话，让人们平等地生活在幸福中……
