                           ECOLOGY IS PRIORITY

       The ecological problem which is also very much a social one, is one of the
pressing problems of our days. The more civilization is developing the greater
the ecological problems are becoming. They are closely linked through cause-
and-effect relations to the problems of economic growth, progress in science and
technology. In many cases the environmental problem has become a dominant
one in relation to many others. The pollution of the environment has now
reached threatening proportions.
       Ecology is the relationship between living things and their environment. It
includes conservation, recycling and pollution control.
      Conservation is the protection of resources against loss or waste.
      Recycling is the reprocessing of used materials for reuse. It helps decrease
land pollution by turning waste into a usable resource. Examples include
recycling paper, plastics and aluminum.
      Pollution is the contamination of the natural environment by the
introduction of harmful substances that endanger our health and our lives.
      The essential feature in the environment protection is that many problems
can be solved only on the level of world community. It is necessary to develop
an international program to study data on land, forest, atmospheric and oceanic
resources, and to take measures to protect the environment.
