Each historical epoch has its name.Is Copper Age, Stone, there is the Renaissance and Middle Ages.The twentieth century will go down in Russian history as the era of warnings.

develop maximum economic and business activities, we have put ourselves on the edge of ecological disaster.Another step - and humanity could disappear forever.

the first time the phrase "ecological safety" was made in 1960, when Germany and the US are thinking about how many more years can live humanity, if not cease to pollute the globe?

Even then, the answer is depressing: the world's scientists gave a figure of 30 years.Therefore, when discussing the protection of the environment was assumed that in all subsequent years the state will create a safe production conditions, or put up with the global environmental instability.Because any further pollution would worsen dramatically the quality of life, and depleted or contaminated natural resources threaten the very existence of life.

was at this time introduced the concept of "ecological safety", which implies the protection of man and his environment from any adverse effects of natural or man-made.Even today, one of the urgent tasks of ensuring Russia's security at the national level - a fundamental change in the environmental situation in a positive way.

Of course, not all the time that has elapsed since the 1960s, is wasted.Ecological Safety of Russia today has a good scientific foundation, we have a regulating governmental organizations, voluntary associations and foundations for the protection of the environment taken important and necessary laws.However, these measures are totally inadequate to save the nature and the planet as a whole.

All results tireless environmental activities, all environmental safety often comes down to elimination of the consequences, and not to address the causes.First, we are witnessing the environmental violations, for example, the construction of the illegal enterprise, education landfill accident on the pipeline or the likeAfter that, throw all efforts to eliminate the consequences of the violation: reduce leakage, improve the safety of nuclear power plants, to collect oil from the surface of the ocean.Time and again, we repeat these steps instead of starting to introduce into life long ago developed the theory of organization of non-waste dumps, search and use of alternative energy sources.

message is simple and clear: to ensure environmental security had descendants, not suitable decisions that contradict the laws of nature.The most deeply bury flooded and hundreds of meters of concrete nuclear dump will be felt terrible deadly consequences.Therefore, there is only one way: to balance the laws and plans for economic development and its environmental activities.Because the economic benefits, even high, but momentary, often it causes great harm to nature.

Today, there is evidence that due to the perfection of our legislation, the liberalization of industrial relations with the West, the poor performance of regulatory bodies ecological safety of Russia is under threat.The introduction of the Russian environmentally harmful production, delivery and use of substandard or long-outdated technology, low level of environmental awareness can dramatically reduce the time of life, not only every person, but also of humanity as a whole.

To avoid this, Russia together with other countries to develop a range of instruments aimed at preventing any activities that harm the environment, looking for alternative approaches to the solution of many problems.Environmental security is now gripped by the entire population of Earth.

We still have time to save themselves.You can not miss it.
