Just heard CCD chairman has got 1.85 million hectares of Amazon rainforest for his furniture business from Guyana. So 1850 sq km of world’s oxygen cylinder will be lost forever and will come to our drawing rooms. It is just criminal.
I wonder what and whom do we celebrate. And what world we will be leaving for future generations.
Global warming, water scarcity, natural calamities are not just words. They are a reality and stare at us everyday and still we refuse to wake up to it. To run a furniture business, grow your trees and cut them. No one has right to mess with such a vital treasure.
Using a poor country’s helplessness to bag such a vulgar deal and then portrayed a winner is nothing but disgrace. I feel businessmen increasingly are using poor but rich in natural resources countries for mindless money making. Development should be sustainable. Does it mean money and beauty doesn’t coexist? Ahh stupidity.. thy name is human.
