Why Must Technology Bring Apology To Ecology? Семерок Н.А., учитель английского языка МБОУ Кагальницкая СОШ №1

To answer this question we must first of all learn the meaning of the word "ecology". Ecology is a science which studies the relationship between all forms of life on our planet with their environment.

This word came from the Greek "oikos" which means "home." This idea of "home" includes the whole planet of ours, its population, the nature, animals, birds, fish, insects, all other living beings and even the atmosphere around our planet.

Do all of them live a happy and healthy life in our home nowadays? Unfortunately, it is not so.

Many flowers have become rare and vanish. Our useful insects, bees, bumble-bees, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, can't live in the atmosphere of chemicals and pesticides. Excessive radiation and transport are harmful to people and animals.

Indeed, many territories, water basins, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans - and the atmosphere - are polluted with all kinds of technological, agricultural, chemical, nuclear and other wastes.

The intensive development of sciences, industry and chemistry in the 20th century has made the pollution of our environment a global problem which should be solved by all means.

Rapid growth of our population (there are about 6 billion people living on our planet now) needs more and more land, food, goods and modern conveniences for the world's increasing numbers.

The production of them in large amounts will greatly increase the pollution of the environment. And what is there to say about the awful harm caused to our home by nuclear tests, atom bombs and accidents at our atomic power stations?

Isn't it high time to start solving this global problem and to make our life in our home happy and healthy?

DEFINITION THE ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYTHING AROUND US: AIR, WATER, LAND AND ALL CREATURES THAT LIVE ON THE PLANET: ANIMALS, BIRDS, PLANTS. THE ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYTHING AROUND US: AIR, WATER, LAND AND ALL CREATURES THAT LIVE ON THE PLANET: ANIMALS, BIRDS, PLANTS.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SIGNS Match the signs with the instructions to the signs. ABC DEF 1. Don’t leave the litter in the forests/parks. 2. Don’t cut down the trees. 3. Don’t use aerosols. 4. Don’t make fire in the forests. 5. Put the litter in the bin. 6. Don’t throw the litter in the water. Which signs can we use to prevent air pollution? water pollution? destruction of the forests? pollution of parks/forests/streets?

QUESTIONS  Do you agree that these problems are extremely serious?  What are the reasons of these problems?  What are the results of the pollution and the destruction of the forests?  What other environmental problems do you know?  Do you think we can solve the problems? THE PROBLEMS OF OUR PLANET

Now you know the answer to the question of why technology must bring apology to ecology. You are right. Because it has polluted and is badly polluting our environment.

Remember the wise advice of the great English writer John Galsworthy who said: "If you don't think about the future you will not have it."

Remember! KEEP OUR LAND, WATER, AIR CLEAN. KEEP OUR LAND, WATER, AIR CLEAN. HELP NATURE. PROTECT IT. HELP NATURE. PROTECT IT. LET’S MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. LET’S MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
