Екологія та здоров'я (Ecology and health)

Abstract

We live in a changeable world where it is very difficult to keep up with new ideas and inventions. Our life becomes more comfortable and more interesting. We get to know about the smallest details of a child’s birth and space, computers have become the part of everyday life, and we use new devices which make housework much easier. But we seldom think that the majority of inventions, new technologies bring harm to a man. Today the greatest problem for humanity is pollution. Pollution is the contamination of the environment including air, water and land. Another problem of big cities is wastes. These are only some of problems of the environment. The list may be endless: greenhouse effect, ozone holes, etc. All of these factors threaten mankind and nature, reduce their life, and even kill them. What can be done to protect them? It is very difficult to answer this question because millions of people all over the world fight against pollution for survival of everything alive on earth. There is a special green movement which calls for nature protection. But it is clear that it is necessary to use purification equipment at the plants and factories, look for wasteless technologies, learn to use natural sources of energy, such as wind, sun, etc., use new recycling technologies. It is very important that every person should be responsible for ecologically clean world and act correspondingly.
