A lesson to learn?

Oh no, we are so smart actually. We want more coal fired power plants, more unsustainable urban areas, more vehicles; we want to kill all water bodies and construct market complexes and other structures, encroach all flood plains...and everything that finally brings us to this state of affairs where we may have money but no life on earth...

A lesson to learn from Chennai? Or just let the time pass and start destroying the nature again? 

Well, our memory may be short but Nature's isn't!
