Ecology
Ecology is the study that helps to preserve the Earth, its plants and animals. It is also supposed to study the environment and the relationship between human activities and nature. Until recently this relationship was in balance. However, at present times we have to face such ecological problems as acid rain, global warming, loss of rare species, ozone reduction, etc. Many scientists think that it is connected with industrial boom and development of civilization in the world. Building numerous factories people have started to interfere intensively in nature. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with tons of dust and other harmful things. As a result, many species of animals and plants disappear forever, including fish and birds. Many large cities suffer from factory smog. Their activity pollutes the air, the water, the forests and the land. Apart from factories there are lots of vehicles in the streets of every more or less developed city. It includes cars, motorbikes, buses, minivans, trucks and other types of transport which use fuel. First of all, they exhaust toxic gases into the air. Secondly, they are considered to be the main noise offenders in the city. This problem progresses as the number of cars increases from year to year. As a result the level of harmful substances in the air also increases. Another problem which is worth mentioning is the tree cutting. Trees are a source of oxygen and clean air. So, by doing this people simply violate the biological balance. All the above mentioned ecological problems are the result of man’s careless interaction with nature. On my opinion, environmental protection should become of a global concern and serious measures should be taken to create ecological security.

Ecology
1) What is ecology?
2) What does ecology study?
3) What do the ecologists study?
4) What does ecology teach us?
5) Do you think our environment is healthy?
6) What types of renewable energy do you know?
Earth is our planet and our only home. Our life depends on the way we interact with each other, with other creatures and the environment. Ecology studies all these processes.
Today mankind faces a lot of complicated ecological problems. When it comes to the environment our main problem is pollution. Tons of harmful substances emitted in the atmosphere because of our activity such as exhaust fumes, radioactive particles, dust and chemicals.
Another important ecological problem is the depletion of natural resources. Every year our planet has less and less fresh water, mineral resources, wood and fertile land.
Of course people are trying to do something about it today. In order to help solving these problems and minimize the negative impact humans produce on Earth the United Nations created environmental protection program.
Relationship between humans and animals are not so good either. Lots of rear kinds of animals are disappearing off the face of the earth even if it’s prohibited to hunt them. Poaching thrives nowadays.
However, we shouldn’t underestimate the positive things that people do in these regards. We are doing our best to plant as many trees as we can, restore the soil and forested areas. We produce new plants, animals and fish using selection method. I hope that it will lead to the time when ecological situation gets better and people’s life will get better too.
