人間の地球環境に対する関係が深刻な危機にあることが最もはっきりと表れて
いるのは、都市や工場からあふれ出るゴミの大洪水である。「使い捨て社会」と
も呼ばれてきたものは、資源は無限にあるから商品を無限に供給することが出来、
陸上や海上のゴミ処理場といった底無しの容器によって、無限に出てくるゴミを
処理することが出来る、という前提のもとに成り立ってきた。しかし今、その流
れの中でおぼれ始めているのだ。あまりに長い間、「去るものは日々に疎し」方
式に頼りすぎて来たことで、今や、視野にも記憶にも残らないやり方でゴミを処
理する方法がなくなりつつあるのである。
昔は、人間の数も生じるゴミの量もずっと少なく、毒性の高いゴミも珍しいも
のだったので、世界がゴミを吸収してくれることによって、1度捨てたゴミのこ
とは2度と考える必要がない、と考えることが可能であった。しかし今となって
は、事態は全く変わってしまった。突然、ゴミ処理場があふれ、焼却場によって
空気が汚れ、近隣地域や州があふれるゴミの問題を押しつけようとしてくるにつ
れて、もう捨ててしまったと思っていたゴミにいきなり注意を向けねばならなく
なって狼狽し、不快にさえ感じてきているのである。
