Приложение 3

Ecology is a very popular word today, but not a lot of people understand its real meaning. As far as I know this science studies the relationships between various forms of life with its environment. Different ecologists analyze and make unusual researches to help people become aware and take care of our planet.

For thousands of years people live in harmony with the environment and some believe that the resources of the Nature have no limit. This stereotype seems to be the obstacle and can lead to a lot of mistakes.

Our negative influence on the Nature began to increase with the industrial revolution, as various by-products of people`s activity such as wastes and steams pollute the air and the water.

There are a number of urgent ecological problems that can lead to some kind of catastrophe. The thinning of the ozone layer, the pollution of the world`s ocean and air appear because of people`s careless attitude to ecology. That is why I believe that environmental protection is a universal concern and some active measures should be taken as soon as possible. I am not the follower of Greta Thunberg, but I am happy to realize that ecological problems are discussed in the United Nations and an international system of ecological security is being created. I believe that people are becoming more and more aware and eco-friendly that will help the mankind live in harmony and take care of the Nature. [1]
