For centuries, two industrial revolutions have brought human life into a modern industrial society with fast developing productivity and abundant material wealth. At the same time, however, we also paid a heavy price. Overconsumption of resources, environmental pollution, ecological destruction and frequent natural disasters have posed a threat to the existence and development of human future.
