Industrial ecology

Environmental science is divided into industrial and natural ecology.

Industrial ecology is the science of a complex of complex systems that include industrial enterprises, as well as other economic objects and all organisms living on the territory.

Natural ecology is an independent science that studies how industry affects the biosphere, its evolution into the technosphere and further into the noosphere in the least painful way for man.

Modern civilization is actively building a consumer society. To meet their growing needs, people conduct economic activities, and its basis is production.

Different social systems pursue different goals for its development, but whatever they may be, between nature and man, between natural ecosystems and production, different kinds of contradictions inevitably arise. The industrial ecology deals with the solution of this conflict.

Its task is to minimize the damage done by industrial enterprises to the environment. And this is not so simple, because mankind takes from the environment many billions of tons of natural substances, such as ore and coal, gas and oil, building materials, water and food, oxygen and wood and much, much more.

The ecological situation on the planet is deteriorating much more rapidly than industrial ecology has time to deal with. But the most harmful effect is not in the selection of matter from ecosystems, but, on the contrary, in that it gives humanity back, polluting nature. In some parts of the world, this pollution reached a level that threatened the life of the creatures that gave birth to it, people. Poisoning the atmosphere, mankind also destroys forests, which are the "lungs" of the planet and restore the atmosphere itself. As a result, a vicious circle results, which can result in a reduction in the amount of oxygen to such a level that people will simply have nothing to breathe.

In addition, due to pollution, populations of many species of flora and fauna are reduced or their complete disappearance, crop yields decrease, fish productivity of reservoirs decreases, and people's health deteriorates.

Ecology and the safety of individuals' lives are under the same threat because of the criminal and irresponsible attitude of many leaders of states to their most important duties - to preserve and increase the nations they manage.

Until it's too late, you can still begin to treat nature carefully and tougher people who destroy it. Each ecological system has its own threshold of resistance against various negative impacts, and their excess leads to a critical degradation of biogeocenosis and, ultimately, to the death of all living beings of the planet.

The negative impact of production is due to its irrational structure and technology imperfection, since only one and a half to two per cent of the total amount of substance that people extract from nature is converted to the final product, while the rest become household and industrial waste.

Industrial ecology is trying to rationalize the process of nature management, to breathe the mind into it. Ecology in the enterprise, in agrofirms should be put under the strictest control, the punishment for the destruction of natural resources must be adequate to the harm that is not only to the living people, but also to subsequent generations - up to the highest measure of social protection, only in this way we can protect Its planet and civilization from self-destruction. Jokes with leaders who destroy nature, should end. Fines and persuasions proved ineffective.
