We use the tools of industrial civilization, the shareholding system to organize investment and capital, the market mechanism to organize competition and development, the consumption economy to develop and expand demand, globalization further improves efficiency and scale, and has successfully eliminated poverty and developed the economy, entered a well-off society and moved to prosperity. But the accompanying environmental and resource issues, as well as the global climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis, have also made us realize that industrial civilization is unsustainable, we must build an ecological civilization, and fundamentally change our production methods and lifestyles.

 

Ecological Civilization requires stopping waste and stopping alienation. Many of our tools should stop or change. For example, the use of temporary holiday to promote the economic development of the holiday, the use of promotion of consumption upgrades to promote the development of industry and economy and so on. Ecological Civilization requires lucid waters and lush mountains as well as invaluable assets. Any waste or alienation consumption is the destruction or incorrect consumption of lucid waters and lush mountains, and should stop!
