Editor's Message

We have limited raw material and natural resources for industry production and daily life consumption. The idea of sustainability has been put into various government agendas, agreements, and policies for its significant impact on our living environment and climate. How we act today would influence our planet in the future. A small change in one element of social ecology would lead to abrupt changes in the system as a whole. 

We have one planet after all!
