It’s not the time yet, but once the natural phenomenon unfolding in and around Santorini in the southern Aegean subsides, we should take the opportunity to have a long, hard think about how much we’re building and the quality of construction.
We need to ask ourselves whether we’re allowing the motive of “growth” to override other priorities and are disregarding crucial aspects like sustainability as we build and build.
Moderation and foresight are needed, particularly for times of emergency, and especially when we know that nature will be raising obstacles.
