Feb. 4,2019 . In this article, scientists have discussed the harmful effects of technological

progress on nature. Climate change, the melting of ice, the decline in the quality of

drinking water have a very negative impact on people's lives. Environmentalists around

the world have long been alarmed by the pollution and destruction of nature.

Deforestation is one of the most important environmental problems. Forest problems are

visible, especially in civilized states. Environmentalists believe that deforestation leads to

many negative consequences for the earth and man. It’s a good source for my future

research paper, that information will be helpful.

Feb. 4,2019. In this article by Corporation Noria, I got acquainted with the ways of saving

our nature, because how you know, the main material from which paper is made is wood.

To produce paper it is necessary to cut down many trees that have grown for many years.

And to plant a new tree and to grow is a great expense and effort. In addition, to grow a
 Kachlishvili 2

good tree you have to wait on average for 50 years. Mass felling of plantations will lead to

great negative consequences. Therefore it is very important to take waste paper! And, if

possible, to involve children in the school in order to teach them to practice their caring

attitude to nature, to explain to them the significance of the activities they conduct.

In this article, we can see the discussion- the connection between man and nature is

interdependent and unbroken. We depend largely on the climate, the state of the

atmosphere, the number of harvested crops and the purity of the ambient air. And if we

want to survive, we have to protect nature. Nature depends entirely on our relationship. I’ll

use this source, there are good examples, that are easy for understanding and use this

information in the future.

“10 Ways to Go Green and Save Green.” Worldwatch Institute. Apr.18,2006

http://www.worldwatch.org/resources/go_green_save_green. Accessed 13 Feb.2019 In

2006 was published this article, during World Watch Institute. They opened direct ways

that should know and keep to use everybody for saving their lives and nature around

them! At the turn of the twentieth century, because of the huge scale of oil production, as

well as the influence of man on nature, many scientists began to worry about the need to

preserve it. Even in ancient times, philosophers said that man must live in harmony with

nature, which gives him life. But how does one preserve nature if he doesn't know what

to do? In fact, there are simple ways to preserve the environment that will always be

relevant.

https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/21-good-reasons-to-go-green.php . Accessed 13

Feb.2019. In this article represents, Why should we preserve nature? Just because

everything in this world is not forever. Because dealing with damage to nature, we harm

ourselves. What will we breathe if the air is filled with harmful gases? What will we

drink if the water is not drinkable, as it will be contaminated? What will we admire if

there are no forests, fields, and meadows with flowers? Nature needs to be protected and

protected so that we can breathe fresh air, drink and bathe in clean water, enjoy the

beauty of fields, meadows, forests. We must protect it not only for ourselves but for the

next generations, for animals, birds, insects, and fishes living on our planet.

Markert has taken full advantage of the strategy of monitoring toxic pollution in the

industrialized countries is based on modern scientific achievements, of which two main

directions should be highlighted:

- ecotoxicological approach to the analysis of anthropogenic effects on the environment;

- use of the concept of risk assessment (analysis, assessment and risk management).

I will take the main sentence in my work for opening deeply my item.

chemical research dealing with Richardson Mervyn. Many chemicals, if used properly,

greatly contribute to improving our quality of life, health, and well-being. But there are

extremely dangerous chemicals that, if not properly regulated, can adversely affect our

health and the environment. Chemical pollutants can cause acute poisoning, chronic

diseases, as well as carcinogenic effects. Toxic is very dangerous to humans and animals

even at low concentrations and cause the defeat of the liver, kidneys, immune system.

experiential research, Welch attempts to ascertain that all lakes will inevitably disappear

from the face of the earth because of the products of erosion caused by flowing rivers, as

well as the rapid development of aquatic vegetation and other organisms that instill.

contributes to the rapid cooling of aquatic plants. The sedimentation gradually

accelerates, i.e. the lake decreases are tightened by silt and gradually disappears. At the

pollution of sea water hydrocarbons (oil) often perish caviar and Moloch. Shellfish,

mussels, crabs, shrimps and other inhabitants of the sea are killed when using detergents

to clean sea water from oil.

thorough examination of the major roles filled by the numerous methods of assessing the

toxicity of plant protection agents using Enhitreid, as well as the methods of using

Enhitreid in soil contamination control, can be applied in the practice of ecotoxicological

certification of new and imported chemical Substances, in particular pesticides,

detergents, growth stimulants, and monitoring of pollution and processes of soil

revegetation after reclamation. The results of the study I will add in my research paper.

work of reef evolution and how it changed by the time during and human influence. Reef

systems are the geomorphological barrier, sedimentation and chemical-biological filters

in the flow of influence of geo-biosphere processes directed from land to ocean. The

external loop ensures the development of biodiversity in the coral reef and increases the

productivity of corals. Since 2000, the acidity of the waters of the world Ocean has

increased by 10 times. 19% of all coral reefs of the earth have disappeared during the last

20 years.

of water pollution are the population that discharges untreated wastewater, a series of

public and private companies but also pig complexes. The quality of the environment in

Brăila county improved after were closed the enterprises and pollutant sections and the pig

complexes from Gropeni, Brăila, Tichileşti, Deduleşti, and Cireşu.

For many years, scientists have stated, and the media wrote that air pollution is harmful.

Recently, sane society is particularly concerned about heavy metal particles in the air.

Landrigan Philip’s academic journals show for us right this problem and pollution

influence on the children’s health.

&AN=54596235&site=eds-live&scope=site. This article presents that air plays a huge role

in the life of plants. The basic components necessary for growth and life of plants are

oxygen, carbonic gas, water streams, and soil air. Oxygen is necessary for breathing and

carbon dioxide for carbon supply.

Oxygen is essential for all living things. Plants can not germinate without oxygen

saturation. In this element need and roots and leaves, and stalks of plants.

Carbon dioxide penetrates into the plant by introducing through its wellhead into the

environment of the sheet, getting into the cells. The higher the concentration of carbon

dioxide, the better is the life of plants.

bk&AN=525826&site=eds-live&scope=site. In this book , in part 4 we can see and

understand that ecology its values (for example, fresh air) do not exist by themselves, but

constantly, every minute by someone is created and spoiled by someone. We cannot create
 Kachlishvili 8

air; we have no leaves, but we create a mind. After reading this part of the book I started

to prefer nature more than before.

traditions and the environment, illustrating how religious teachings and practices both

promoted and at times subverted sustainability. The central element of the current

discussion is the question of the responsibility of world religions for how they respond to

these challenges. The decisive factor in matters relating to the sustainability of our

existence may be what values we will guide in activities aimed at building the future of

Homo sapiens as a flourishing species on the planet, whether this activity will be spiritual

and ethical.

book for kids and adults, if you want to be closer to nature, or feel a connection with nature,

the story that we can see in book teach us by an example of the main hero. This story

develops at the Sierra Nevada, near Chico, California, where our hero was born.

balance is the balance of all forces in nature. Thanks to the balance, life is possible and we

add to the formulation - “the balance of all forces in nature that gives life”. In humans, this

is a balance of duties that he must do in relation to God and his neighbor. Even without

mosquitoes, natural equilibrium does not linger, as it turns out, is impossible, because

mosquitoes are an important component of natural equilibrium.
