Once, when Luke was little, his father had tucked him in, and Luke had asked a question.
"Daddy." What was it like, when you where a kid"?
Well, our houses were made of wood."
"Really"? Luke had asked.
"And the sky was blue." A deep vast blue."
"Seriously?" He had said.
"Yep". "And we had plants, and landscaping in our yard".
"Why did that change daddy?"
"Well, he said. "People became greedy." As the worlds population increased, that meant less trees. Airplanes and gases polluted the air, until it was painful to breath in."
After this, Luke had asked him another question. But he just sighed, and went back to work.
