Text
Ecology problems are of vital importance today. What can common people do to protect the planet? Man have always wanted to make his life easier. He invented machines and mechanisms which have been working — and polluting the world we live in. Economists have long thought of the environment as of the unlimited source of resources only. In fact, the economy and the environment are closely related.

The environment supplies the economy with water, timber, minerals, oil, etc. It has to absorb all the waste products, too. Nevertheless, some economists have always argued that pollution damages the resources. There are many consequences of damaging the environment. One of them is acid rain. Pumping waste gases from a power station does not get rid of them. Waste gases cause acid rain, this leads to forest damage and reduces the resources of forestry industry.

Another one is water shortage. It comes from abuse of lands in agriculture. The third one is destroying the ozone layer of the Earth through pollution from factories and plants. The fourth one is damage to water and soils. The fifth one is damage to wildlife: many species of plants and animals can disappear. The sixth one is the greenhouse effect and global warming — that is, an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.

Global warming can lead to rises in sea levels, and extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and hurricanes, and global climate change. Lastly, the most serious danger is the result of all these consequences. This is the danger for the life and health of the man.

Exercises
1)Екологічні проблеми є життєво важливими на сьогодні. Що можуть зробити прості люди, щоб захистити планету?
2) Насправді, економіка і навколишнє середовище близько пов'язані. Навколишнє середовище забезпечує економіку водою, деревиною, нафтою, мінералами і т.д.
3) Відпрацьовані гази спричиняють кислотні дощі, це призводить до пошкодження лісу і зменшує ресурси лісового господарства.
4)Глобальне потепління може призвести до підвищеня рівня морів.
