Actually, the nature in general has ability to absorb those environmental loading, but the ability is limited to the certain level of loading. Current human activities are obviously over the ability of natural autopurification, and the exceeded loading bacome clearly observed at many aspects in environment.
It may be about time for us human beings to take those message from nature as warning to put too much loading onto enviroment. In fact unexpectable envirnmental incidents became happened all over the world. Not only waiting for nature to autopurifying the human mess, but also we human being has to take active role to restore these environmental condition.
