IN 1978, China launched its Three North Shelter Forest (Green Great Wall) Programme, aimed at creating a forest chain extending from Xinjiang in the far north-west to Heilongjiang in the far north-east, to prevent further expansion of the Gobi and Taklimakan deserts. This multi-generational project is scheduled for completion in 2050.
This sent shivers down my spine. Imagine living in a world where the whole world starts multigenerational projects to benefit people whose grandparents are not even born yet. The things we could achieve if this quarter’s profits weren’t the dominant motivation.
In every chance I have, I try to share this news with my surrounding. This is the type of things that we should aim for everywhere in the world but capitalism holds us back.
Not only holds us back, actively drags us fucking backwards! Link
Indeed, China operates on a completely different scale from the western capitalist driven world.
