Why must technology bring apology to ecology?

Paragraph 1. Ecology is a science which studies the relationship between all the forms of life on our planet. The word “ecology” came from Greek “oikos” which means “home”. This idea of “home” includes the whole planet of ours, it’s population, the Nature, animals, birds, fish and atmosphere around our planet.

Paragraph 2. Do all of them live a happy and healthy life in our Home nowadays? Unfortunately, it is not so. Indeed, many territories, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans – and the atmosphere are polluted with all kinds of technological and chemical wastes. The intensive development of sciences, industry and chemistry in the 20^th century has made the pollution of our planet a global problem.

Paragraph 3. Growth of our population needs more and more air, land, water, food and goods for newly-born people. The production of them will increase the pollution of the Earth, that’s why people must start to solve this global problem and make our life in our Home happy and healthy.

Paragraph 4. Now you know the answer to the question of why technology must bring apology to ecology. You are right. Because it has polluted and is badly polluting our planet. And in conclusion all of us should always remember the wise advice of a great English writer John Galsworthy who said: “If you don’t think about the future you will not have it”.
