Environment Protection. Машутина Е.А. - 16 стр.

ignorance about them. Modern Science is so inventive that it will probably succeed in
providing mankind with technologies to compensate for the destruction of natural
resources. But this alone will not correct the damage to the environment done by
population and undisciplined technology. Let's mention that most types of disease are
the expressions of man's failure to adapt to his environment, and that adaption will
become increasingly difficult as air, water and soil are altered more and more rapidly
by the new ways of life. The waste of natural resources, the threats to health
constitute many different aspects of the environmental problem in the modern world,
each with characteristics of its own. In our own self-interest we should consider the
creation of disaster-prevention programs on a global scale. There must be a
worldwide program to conserve scarce resources. We must evolve a stragedy for
global environmental security - a planetary policy to avoid disaster and provide a
greater sense of direction in human affairs.
