Overpopulation. More motorbikes on the streets. More factories

I have always been thinking about environmental problems. Overpopulation. More motorbikes on the streets. More factories. Our Earth is being overloaded, it needs the time to recover. Thanks to covid-19, our ozone layers have recovered somewhat.

What is the key thing that changed between 2020 and 2060?

Tôi đang ở 1 vùng nông thôn với rất nhiều đồng ruộng. Sắp tới đây, khu nhà tôi phải dời đi để xây đường. Điều đó cũng tốt cho việc đi lại. Nhưng nó sẽ làm giảm rất nhiều đồng ruộng. Đường xá thông thoáng, rồi những công ty nhà máy sẽ xuất hiện nhan nhản. Ống khói của các nhà máy sẽ xả chất thải lên bầu trời nếu không được quản lí tốt. Bỗng chốc, một làng quê với không khí trong lành trở thành điểm ô nhiễm môi trường.

(I am currently living in a countryside with many paddy fields. But we are being asked to move away so that new roads could be built. New roads will be good for our travels, but there will be much fewer paddy fields. We will have more roads, and then more factories. The factories' chimneys will emit toxic gas into the sky if they are not managed well. Suddenly, a rural area with fresh air has become a center of environmental pollution.)

What story or thing inspires you to think about this?

Môi trường vẫn đang là một vấn đề mà tôi luôn suy nghĩ đến. Dân số tăng. Phương tiện cá nhân tăng. Nhà máy tăng. Trái đất đang bị quá tải, nó cần được tái tạo lại. Nhờ vào covid-19, tầng ozone được tái tạo lại phần nào.
