Time... An abstract concept that has come to run our lives in many ways. It can be anything: fleeting or slow, good or bad, infinite or interrupted.
Anyway the point here is to unveil the consequences that our relationship to time (since the mighty Industrial Revolution) has on our environment.
How does our desire for shrunken time frame our relationship to nature? In other terms, in what ways does the faster pace of our daily routine damage planet earth?
Of course our desire for immediacy is detrimental to nature indirectly. But I'll try to look at the mechanisms that affect it.
I thought of this topic because it affects us so much, without us realising it.
Unintendedly, we are actors of earth's destruction. Our impatience is one way through which this is happening.
I'm the first one trapped in this race against time. In theory I would like to be slow, but in practice, I walk fast, like all of us urban-dwellers. I guess decelerating is a slow-growing process ;)
