Look around. Our once-proud hills are disappearing—flattened for granites, marble, and wardrobes—all to decorate houses we’ll show off for a few likes. And where does all the waste go? Right back into nature, forming mountains of garbage taller than the hills themselves. People lavish their homes with expensive stones, demolish the very landscapes around them, and don’t even notice the mess they leave behind. Broken furniture, construction debris, plastics—all piled up like we’re competing with nature itself. It’s a shame. Every time someone builds a “dream house,” a hill loses its height. Every discarded piece of junk adds to a trash mountain. And still, we go on, proud of our luxury, blind to the devastation under our feet. We are decorating our lives while erasing the world around us. And for what? A countertop, a marble floor, a new wardrobe? Nature doesn’t get a say—but one day, it will make sure we notice.
