Message from Chairman
Does any of over 6.3 billion people living now think of what our society and world ought to be 30 years or even 10 years after now?
In 2002, too, RBA International has been endeavouring to the fullest length, in order to leave an earth which is a better place to live for the generation three hundred years from now.
Let me introduce the two reports, impressions of which have remained with us so deeply.
“The limits to the growth theory” by Dr. Meadows, et al commissioned by Club of Rome in 1972 says, “If the present growth goes on invariably, then the growth on the globe shall come to the limit within 100 years from now on, in terms of global population, industrialization, food production, exhaustion of natural resources. As a consequence, the most probably conclusion would be uncontrollable decline, which may happen all of sudden.”
Also in 1992 right before 21st century, the same authors report in “Beyond the limits” stating that the velocity that human being exhausts indispensable resources, and produces contaminants has already exceeded sustainable limits in most cases. Unless counter-measures of substantial reduction of flows of both material and energy are taken, the volume of food, energy consumption and industrial output per head would be diminished uncontrollable after 10 years or more”.
In the coming 2003, at least we ought to, or we should take the initiative to take actions…
