Every man has its own Motherland. It’s the place where a man was born. May be my native place is usual and uninteresting for other people but for me it’s the dearest place in the world. The beauty of our native village we imbibed with our mother’s milk. I like to walk on a carpet of meadows and flowers or climb the hills covered with thick woods or fish in our ponds or drink the crystal clear water…I wish it were always so!
But in recent years the environmental problems have become extremely urgent. And we in our native village are also concerned about it. I think that all ecological problems are the result of scientific and technological progress of the 20th century. Sometimes people do a lot of harm to nature because they don’t understand that the man is the part of the environment. There must be a unity between a man and nature. It’s one of the most vital problems facing civilization today.
Even in ancient times people used nature’s resources without doing harm. But with the development of society, science and technology our descendants will soon discover that we recklessly squandered and polluted their inheritance. The Professor of California University Dasmann Raymond said: ”We are all concerned about the beginning of the third world war…. But the third world war has already begun –we are fighting against the environment. Moreover, we win!”
The planet’s resources are not unlimited. Over the past twenty yearsthe population of our planet has increased sixfold and our levels of consuming exceed the amount that can give us the Earth. The government simply must deal with the environmental problems. But instead of healing the planet it strongly favours the development of industry. This doesn’t mean that only the government is responsible for the environmental situation. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, 16th US president: ”With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed”. There is no way to say it better I think. So we should work together realizing that we have entered a critical moment in our history, when humanity must choose its future as the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile.
I suppose the world’s leaders must:
-protect and preserve the unity of the Earth’s ecosystems giving special attention to biodiversity and natural process that sustain life;
-adopt at all levels such plans on sustainable development which would make the conservation and restoration of the environment as an integral part of all initiatives aimed at further development;
-support the revival of endangered species, populations and ecosystems;
-control the use of renewable resources such as water , soil, forest products and marine species;
-manage the production and use of non-renewable resources such as minerals and fossil fuel products so as not to harm the environment;
-prevent the environmental pollution and the accumulation of radioactive and toxic substances;
-avoid military activities damaging to the environment;
On the 22d of April we celebrate the World Earth Day .However there is a danger that in a few hundred years we would have nothing to celebrate so we are slowly destroying our planet and we forget the fact that there were no other world where we would happily move. We and only we are responsible for the ecological problems of the Earth. Let our time will be remembered as a time of reverence for life and a firm decision to keep the evolutional possibilities of the Earth.
