Within the walls of Vice City, we have a heavy emphasis for care of our environment. We treat it with respect and cherish the beauty that nature has to offer. The people in our society learn to appreciate the area that they live in and know to preserve as much as possible. Those within Vice City are encouraged to become one with nature; therefore there are specific areas within our society dedicated for meditation and self reflection. In our society, there is an importance for our citizens to respect the nature around them. We believe that it is vital for our society to thrive when those living in Vice City are dedicated to preserving the environment they live in and not be wasteful of our natural resources.
If one could eliminate the fondness that kings, dukes, and great officials have for accumulating quantities of pearls and jades, birds and beasts, and dogs and horses, and use this revenue to increase the availability of clothes, houses, armor, shields, weapons, boats, and vehicles—could one double the numbers of these? (Mozi, ch 20, p.74)
However, citizens of Vice City are aware of the importance of our natural resources that benefit the society as a whole. That is why there are areas that are dedicated for the production of natural resources. Everything within this part of the city is to be looked at as a source to creating something beneficial for the community. In this designated area, we believe that everything is a resource that can be made into something for the growth of Vice City and its people. The resources used within this area are not to be considered a waste of natural sources, but are a beneficiary component to the development of our society. Anything that is to be used, will be used to its full extent and never wasted. We strongly encourage our citizens to utilize the resources in this area in every way possible to create products that will be beneficial to the progress of Vice City.
When sage-kings rule, whenever they issue orders, undertake an enterprise, employ the people or expend their resources, they never do anything that is not useful. And so they never waste their resources or overburden their people yet are able to generate great benefits. (Mozi, ch 20, p.74)
In making these various things, sage-kings never add anything that is not useful. And so they never waste their resources or overburden their people yet are able to generate great benefits. (Mozi, ch 20, p.74)
We believe that, in doing so, our society will flourish. Encouragement of our citizens to be respectful of the land but also learn to utilize the resources necessary for living plays a role in the growth of our society. Our citizens are continuously exercising these practices. Both in preserving nature while using the necessary resources for basic survival. Those in Vice City know to not only to keep the environment in its most natural state but, when needed, know not to waste the resources that are available to them.
