Conclusion

In thisreport I tried to show how does the activity of a Man influences on our common home. I have shown different kinds of pollution (I mean water and air pollutions) and the consequences of wasting our environment (for example, global warming, acid rains, greenhouse effect and etc.).

I suppose that our main problem is the following: we try to solve ecological problems because it became hard to live with poisoned air and water, but not because of their respect to the planet they live on and to the birds and animals they live with. People try to take care of the planet just because of their egoism.

If we want to live on the clean Earth at least we should remember about ecological culture. Ecological culture means respect of the nature not only as our home, but also as a home of millions of species of insects, animals and birds.

Our children are born ill, we have a lot of chronic diseases. Are we waiting when there will be no fresh air to breathe and water to drink?

Scientists are right: in the future there will be only animals- more sensible beings. Maybe they are not developed as we are, but they will never destroy their planet.

ЗАЩИТА РАБОТЫ (НЕ ПИСАТЬ ЭТИ СЛОВА)

This project is devoted to different ecological problems,catastrophes, environmental protection and human health. Can these things be together …..?It summarizes the results of my watching, studing such global problems like «Greenhouse effect»,«Acid rain»,«Water pollution»,«Nuclear energy»,

«Radiation»,«Nuclear waste»,«Deforestation».The purpose of my project is the following: to show actual ecological problems, explain how they change our life and try to find the possible ways to solve them. I suppose that such theme as mine is very actual nowadays and I hope that this information will appeal not only to my mind.

The reason why I chose this subject for developing is quite evident – our planet is on the verge of global ecological catastrophe.

Today I’ll be developing several main points. First I’ll give you a general idea of the ecological situation on our planet. Second I’d like to highlight the most dangerous tendencies that can have deadly consequences for us. Lastly I’ll try to show what can be done to save our planet from disaster.

Perhaps everyone has ever asked himself a question: «Is my lifestyle healthy?». If you ask 100 people the most popular answer is «No». Besides health freaks that want to live to be a hundred noone does much to improve their health or at least not to harm it. I must confess that I do nothing about my health.

We need certain things to stay alive and healthy. We need clean air to breathe and pure water to drink. We need also food that safe to eat and housing to shelter us. But we can’t get all these things by ourselves. We live in community, so we can solve our heals problems only working together.

Polluted air is a community problems. Air becomes polluted in many ways. Cars, trucks, busses and airplanes are among the worst polluters. They send partly burned gases into the air. Air can be also polluted by smoke and shows, that the biggest part of them is harmful to nature. And the results of these contacts are illnesses and even deaths.

What is an ecology… .. Ecology is a science, which studies the relationship between all forms of life on our planet and our environment. This word came from the Greek «oikos» which means «home». All living things are related to their environment. The Earth is our common home and we must take care of it.

Since ancient times Nature has provided Man with everything he needed: food to eat, water to drink, wood for building and fuel for heating and cooking. For hundreds of years Man used Nature’s sources and it seemed to people that the resources of Nature had no end. With the industrial revolution our negative influence on Nature began to increase. Big smoky cities with thousands of people, polluting plants and factories can be found nowadays all over the world.

Nowadays there are many different pressure and interests groups in many countries, which try to find solutions to the problems of pollution at the national and international level. So they are groups of people with a common interest in trying to draw the public attention to environment problems, to influence the government decisions. Greenpeace is a very famous pressure group. It started functioning in 1971. Its headquarters are at Amsterdam, but it operates in 25 countries worldwide. The aim of Greenpeace is to protect wildlife of toxic wastes, nuclear tests.

Unfortunately, the idea of thinking about our planet and about the consequences of our activity appeared not so long time ago as it could be. Nowadays scientists from the different parts of the world try to solve ecological problems, but it isn’t enough to do our planet clean. We must protect our home all together, without any exceptions.

In thisreport I tried to show how does the activity of a Man influences on our common home. I have shown different kinds of pollution (I mean water and air pollutions) and the consequences of wasting our environment (for example, global warming, acid rains, greenhouse effect and etc.).

I suppose that our main problem is the following: we try to solve ecological problems because it became hard to live with poisoned air and water, but not because of their respect to the planet they live on and to the birds and animals they live with. People try to take care of the planet just because of their egoism.

If we want to live on the clean Earth at least we should remember about ecological culture. Ecological culture means respect of the nature not only as our home, but also as a home of millions of species of insects, animals and birds.
