Ways of solving environmental problems.

There are three main areas in which we break the ecosystem of the planet. Burning petroleum products while working a large number of internal combustion engines and power stations, we throw in an atmosphere of combustion gases, primarily carbon dioxide. Huge piles of unprocessed waste, which itself does not decompose, take a lot of space, pollute soil and water, some of it gets into the seas and oceans. Finally, in the mining open pit, quarry, we give a lifeless state of the vast territory.These major problems, respectively, and identified those areas in which is a struggle for the preservation of the environment. First of all, hope to solve the problems associated with the development of energy efficient technologies and bringing up the level of industrial capacity environmentally friendly sources of energy. Development of electric vehicles, expansion of public electric will gradually clear the air of cities. For its part, car companies are working to reduce fuel consumption. We are actively developing electronic systems to control movement, which can minimize the waste of fuel. Solar panels and wind turbines should be reduced, and eventually even reduced to zero, the burning of fuel in thermal power plants that now produce the lion's share of Energy in the world. Moreover, these energy sources are good because they can - in theory - be used everywhere, so with time to drop out the need to build power transmission lines and trunk pipelines. Using these sources in the industry until the question of the future, but it is the first development of residential complexes with a fully self-contained, environmentally sound manner.Any attempt to re-use waste or waste-free processing it is very valuable. Especially considering the fact that much of the garbage, these things are quite useful, discarded simply because they are replaced by new ones. All that can be recycled, recycled to do - this is now the main slogan. First, we further reduce consumption of resources, and secondly, rid the planet of junk. Therefore, there is a whole design direction for the creation of interior items, household items - a light bulb, teapots, furniture, and even entire houses. The aim - to bring to people's minds the idea: do not rush to throw the old thing, showing the share of imagination, you can give it a second life.Of course, the trash is only a small part of the problem. To give more waste industry.Waste treatment plants in special garbage collector can be obtained from an analogue of natural gas, which can be used instead of fuel.All of these areas, despite notable successes in recent years, solve only part of the problem. There is still an unresolved issue remains pereabotka plastic and rubber. A huge number of whole tires creates garbage mountains around the major European capitals. A proportion of legikh plastics packages, bottles and packaging by weight up to 30% of all waste. Great hopes are pinned on biotechnology, which would like to believe they will either recycle the debris, or somehow integrate them into the environment.

Ecology - a comprehensive science!

Ecology - a complex science. Speaking in a nutshell, it examines the relationship between the animate and inanimate nature. Wildlife - are living organisms (plants, animals, fungi, viruses) and their community. Inanimate nature - it is the habitat in which all living things (including people) there. Two Greek word "oikos" (house) and "logos" (the science) are the name of science "ecology" - means the science of the house. For a man - a residential building, for animals - forest, field, mountain, for the fish - sea, lakes and rivers. For all together - a whole planet. Shared accommodation is sometimes like a fight for survival in space and time in natural and artificially modified human conditions. Ecology is designed to explore all the intricacies of the process of co-existence of individual residents of our great "utility" of the apartment and the impact on each other.Life on Earth is in full swing everywhere. Flora and fauna exists not for itself, it depends on its environment (climate, soil, water and air temperatures). In the long process of historical development of plants and animals have learned to adapt to existing environmental conditions.Many people mistakenly believe that ecology studies the issues related only to the environment. This occurred because of an incorrect interpretation of the implications of thoughtless human influence on the environment.In fact, the environment affects a much larger range of issues. So what matters is studying ecology?A. By nature environment in which organisms live. Highlights - is the climate and natural resources. Natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, the collapse) often lead to a breach of customary life, turning everything around.Two. Mutual existence of living organisms and their communities in the world among themselves. Violation of the settled nature of the equilibrium between the different living organisms (plants and herbivores feeding on them, herbivores and predators).Three. Man's relation to nature is also the subject of study. Occurring in the nature of the changes due to human intervention (deforestation, construction of dams, construction of industrial plants ...). This violates the nature of nature, pollute the surrounding world, which has a negative effect on all life, including in humans.The main target of scientific research ecologists - nature itself. Environmentalists are watching what is happening not only in the field, leaving the expedition, but also in the stationary (laboratory) conditions. Long-term observations are accompanied by conducting laboratory experiments, followed by the extension of scientific theories to explain the phenomena occurring.Only by studying all the issues in the complex, you can get a full picture of what is happening, to be able to predict the course of further development.Only in recent time, mankind has been thinking about the importance of environmental issues. Due to the results produced by research, you can try to anticipate and learn how to prevent a devastating impact of negative factors. Environmental literacy is relevant to modern people.

Urban environmental problems.

Today's mega-cities - a center of trade and industry. Increasingly, citizens criticized large companies for polluting the environment, but in fact they harm - this is only part of the chain of the environmental problems that have long been settled in large cities.Initially, large industrial enterprises were built on the periphery of cities, but the expansion of residential areas has led to what people have to live side by side with the often injurious productions. Emissions of chemicals in the urban sky citizens make life unbearable. At best, people feel an unpleasant smell, and at worst - feel unwell due to poisoning of the body. Even if the company is not located in close proximity to residential neighborhoods, it's still poison the environment for several kilometers around. Emissions from the huge pipes of factories picked up by wind and rain cover in the form of the next areas. Wastewater, which often have a poisonous yellow, rushing small streams to large rivers, into the soil.Another environmental problem in cities are the exhaust gases of millions of cars that are daily in the many kilometers of traffic jams. Environmentally friendly cars who travel on an environmentally friendly fuel - now rather distant prospect, despite the high level of science in modern society. Change to bicycles and public transport cities residents do not want, and, hence, this problem does not lose its relevance for a long time. Exhaust gases in the degree of harmful impact on the environment ahead of the mills and factories. Harmful volatile substances in their composition have an adverse impact not only on the human body, but also to plants and animals, the city band. Affects the respiratory tract, reduced the required level of oxygen in the blood. Hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas can cause headaches, which have become familiar to urban dwellers.Considerable damage to the cities causing landfills. Tons of waste instead of processed, are delivered to the overcrowded landfills, or people have to breathe the smell of garbage piles, from the comfort of their own households. A terrible smell and crowds of rats - it's not the most terrible consequences uncollected garbage. Quite often, discarded wastes which contain toxic substances and therefore require special disposal.Build refineries are too expensive, easier to allocate new space for landfills and "enjoy" the new garbage mountain peaks that grow in the short term. The trees are cut down, giving way to high-rise buildings and large shopping centers, reducing the flow of air into the lungs of citizens.The modern city is being blackened lungs with patients with a dense cap of smog over the heads of its inhabitants. Key environmental issues are added washing machines in urban ponds, picnics in the parks, which make the already sparse green areas in the smaller versions of urban landfills.Mindless consumerism and the environment leads to a slow self-destruction of urban residents, which will last you as long as people do not realize the importance of solving existing environmental problems.

Spring show who, where garbage !

That's the first rays of the sun delight citizens, is becoming warmer, the snow begins to melt, but at the same time opening up unflattering pictures, such as piles of garbageaccumulating all winter.
The snow hid incivility of some townspeople hid discarded cigarette butts and packs of cigarettes, could not see thousands of empty bottles of beer, almost could not see and the motley pack, the fact that the sale of plastic bags by itself may not ill, but that thatmost of these packages is happening in the future, how much extra waste is produced, I've written previously about possible solutions in this area, I think, is once again raise the subject.

Deforestation can keep wild animals without a home !

On the border with China, there are two mighty rivers Amur and Ussuri River, which created one of the most amazing places where nature exists in its original form.However, as the reporter found out Tom Barton, the offensive captains of industry puts its future in jeopardy.
Tiger named Deep time for dinner. He was picked up starving to death, when he was only six months. He is now 19 years old, has a pair of platinum artificial teeth. This Siberian tiger is one of the endangered species, writes the news agency Kazakhstan-Grain.
Tom Barton, a correspondent: Forests in the region - home to several rare species of big cats. However, they are also full of loggers, sawmills and poachers who earn good here and because of that same leopards and tigers were on the verge of extinction.
Ludmila takes care of the tigers, bears, reindeer ... Yes, perhaps on each wounded beast who falls for her at the center. In addition, it is closely monitoring poaching and forestry, which affects the habitats of animals, about which she cares.
Ludmila Kruglov, Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation: Tigers need a very large area to survive. At one point, can not get along a lot of individuals. A forestry discourages animals they hunt, and the Tigers have to leave.
Hence, the problem boils down to that endless Russian forests disappearing in strong mill industry. This new timber-processing plant located in the Far East, absorbs up to 800,000 cubic meters of timber per year. And the production is expanding.
But in the factory of the forest are not worried, because, they said, workers - are responsible loggers.
Volodymyr Liashenko, timber-processing plant "Arkaim": Wood-renewable resource.Unlike coal or oil. We plant trees to replace those cut down, so that future generations have enough to spare.
But environmentalists see the big picture in a completely different light. According to them, credible reports of rampant deforestation does not exist. And they warn that Russia's forests are not as endless as the timber barons think.
Denis Smirnov, Amur branch of WWF: As soon as we start talking about the fact that the pristine forests had very little power and industrialists are beginning to get angry. They argue that human rights organizations are trying to close their businesses.
However, there are those who are trying to rebuild cut forests. Employees of this project, local authorities are collected and sifted pine seeds, grow them from the young trees and plant them. But they acknowledge that it is not keeping pace with deforestation.
Ivan Denisov, head of the local project woodland: In a normal year we have been able to restore the carved wood. But if a forest fire happens, and we ten years'll manage. That is, we are doomed to failure.
In Lyuty no problems. He brought food. But his relatives somewhere in the wild forest, soon may be no escape.

Deforestation of tropical forests !

Cutting down tropical forests poses a great threat to Latin America, Asia and Africa. Since ancient times, high quality wood attracted industrialists western developed countries and the countries themselves are not able to use this potential due to lack of technology. The area of ​​the tropical forests of Equatorial Africa halved in the colonial period. Deforestation of tropical forests is 6 times faster than their regeneration and recovery. Year after year the situationworsens in the Philippines, as well as in other countries. If in the 70's forests occupy more than 60% in Thailand, then in the late 80s they have been preserved only in national parks. The main scourge of tropical forests has been that the most common and the primary fuel in mostcountries of the East is a tree. Every minute, the area of ​​tropical forests is reduced by an amount equal to two hundred football fields. And if the pace of deforestation does not change,the beginning of the next century, developing countries can and do lose their forests.
