Man has been endowed with reason with the power to create, so that he can add to what has been given. But up to now he hasn’t been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,wildlifes become extinct,the climates ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier everyday. -Anton Chekhov (Uncle Vanya 1897)
