Amazon fire shows we care little for the future

I wish if we had shown even 10% of the outrage that we showed towards Notre Dame in Paris, the planet we are living in today would have been a different place. The fire in Notre Dame cathedral earlier this year was indeed a sad and a disastrous incident but so is the burning of the Amazon forest.

One is related to the past whereas the other one is about the future. In one case we are able to attract instant media attention, 24x7 worldwide coverage, billions of dollars are pledged for its restoration, prayers and goodwill gestures made all over the world.
