The Ecological Crisis: A Myth or Reality? Have you ever wondered whether the ecological crisis could be a real problem? Or maybe it is just delusion? In our modern world, we are facing with ecological problems almost every day. They say the ecological crisis is inevitable. However, there are plenty of people who believe that it is just a myth. Let’s speculate what makes them think so. I am convinced that nowadays people risk to run into ecological crisis. It is not a fantasy or overstatement, it is a real situation we can face in nowadays. First of all, it can be caused by changes of the environment. For example, an increase of temperature, less significant rainfalls can be the reasons. But at the same time needs of people grow while the environment quality degrades. The scientists call these factors “abiotic”. Secondly, it is becoming more and more difficult to survive because of the overpopulation or predation. These are biotic factors. However, I disagree with these contentions. To a certain extent, it is right. Sometimes there no favorable conditions in some spheres of the society for leading the ecological way of life. But we cannot forget about the ecological education. Environmentally responsible behavior is an essential part of the philosophy for every educated person. Unwillingness to study laws of interrelation between the human and the environment, negligence to them influence the state of environment. Every person decides for himself to participate in ecological actions or to remain ecologically illiterate, to use ecological products or to continue to sponsor the companies polluting the environment, to sort the waste for further recycling or not to spend time and to throw out everything in one trash can. From the choice of each person depends the final result. Also, the mankind cannot learn the laws of nature completely. But we exactly know that it has limit potential. The territory of the Earth is limited while the population of the planet increases and the needs of people respectively. All things considered, we cannot ignore existence of the ecological crisis. Many years of experience show us how important is to recognize existing problems and to solve them in a timely manner.
