The Problem of Environmental Protection

Топик - Проблема защиты окружающей среды (с переводом).
Environmental protection is the main problem facing humanity nowadays. The image of a sick planet has become firmly established in the public mind lately.
Ten years ago the word 'ecology' hardly meant anything for the majority of people, but today we can't help bearing it in our minds. It has happened because of the growing effect of the rapid industrial development of the natural world which has negative features of its own. As a matter of fact the state of environment has greatly worsened of late.
