Environment Protection Series

It is the time to write something about environment protection! Everybody agrees and always talks about the current situation about our environment, but in fact, how many of these people really take some actions and how many of them are equipped with basic environmental knowlege? I'm afraid the number, if there is a data, will disappoint me.

People gradually agree with the view that environment protection is more important than economic growth. The reasons are various and obvious.  Economic growth is controlled directly by the availability of natural resources in the environment. Resources have a limit. Environment protection is meaningless without a cap on population and waste. Recent work in bio-engineering and genetic manipulations have shown how to manufacture the commodities necessary for both economic growth and the ability to sustain a growing population without necessarily saving the environment or destroying it.

Recent population explosions have put a high demand on the environment and waste has historically been a contributing factor. Perhaps protecting the environment is not the issue. Wasting what we have available is the issue. Although conservation will not allow huge jumps in economic growth, it will not stop growth from occuring. There is no logical reason to show how protecting the environment will have an adverse effect on economic growth. Nature knows better than us and there is no doubt that environment protectio is more important in this stage of development.

In my blog, I will show you some basic knowledge about environment through a combination of images and words. Hope you enjoy it. Content is as follow:

Chapter One: Soil
