Environmental problems
The present environmental problems have become exceptionally urgent. If
many years ago people lived in harmony with the environment, today their
interference in the Nature has reached such a degree that it becomes dangerous
for their lives. And if the same tendencies remain for the next years, our
planet will soon become uninhabited. The ecological problems are not the
problems of a single isolated country. They are global in character and involve
all countries in the world. The ecological problems have much in common. The
main problem is pollution. It is not a secret that every year more and more
industrial enterprises are built.
And they have a very bad effect on the environment. They pollute the air
we breathe, the water we drink and the land that grain and vegetables grow on.
In addition to air pollution people upset the oxygen balance of our
planet because people cut down forests and woods. One of the most dangerous
things is radiation. There is a greаt number of nuclear power stations. They
have many advantages for the industry, but they present a threat for the life.
Nature is a source of our life and destroying it we destroy ourselves.
People forget that natural resources are not endless even though they seem
unlimited. Nature has enough resources for the present generation. But their
amount becomes less with every year. To protect nature is a duty of all people.
