Reckless mass production

Guruko and her platypus companion, Cha Cha, were once again observing our world through their magical mirror.

With the development of machines and ways to produce goods in mass, some reckless behaviors have emerged, focused solely on mass production without thinking of the consequences it may have.

Goods that won’t sell are trashed, adding to the pollution already created during the fabrication of these items. To add insult to injury, human beings working in these industries often receive little to no pay and endure poor working conditions.

“Is it just because we are living in a world where peace and harmony prevail that I find this kind of behavior completely absurd?” asked Guruko, shocked by what she was seeing.

“It is often easier to see flaws when you are not yourself absorbed in them,” replied Cha Cha.

“Here on Esperia, we have the Seven Shapes. In this case, Atma, the Shape of Balance, would be especially useful to them, to remind them that their planet will only grow worse and worse if they do not finally begin to care about it.”
