4 600 million years ago after an explosion of the Sun the Earth and the planets emerged as a cloud of gas and dust
4 300million years ago the Earth's crust was formed
570 million years ago 570 million years ago into the seas and oceans different forms of life emerged
200 million years ago was the Dinosaurs Age
5 million years agowas the Primates Age • Every day 5000 people die due to the usage of polluted water! • A billion of people have no access to drinking water
21st century The Machine Age
Tropical forests destruction: Every second, forests of a football stadium size disappear! Every year, forests of the size of the territory of England are destroyed! Destroying the forests is also a threat for our cousin orangutang! Almost 80% of the Planet forests have already been destroyed!
50% of the food bought in the USA is junked! 30% in France! At the same time, every 4 seconds a human being dies from hunger! 25 000 per day! 1 billion people are starving!
Biodiversity - hecatomb! Every day, due to the human interference, about a hundred of plant and animal species disappear! One species every 18 minutes!
Once upon a time, a great fire started in the forest. All the animals, horror-struck, helplessly watched the calamity. Only one hummingbird tirelessly harvested drops of water into its beak to extinguish the fire. • Some time later, an woodpecker, bored with the small bird meaningless actions, told it: • Hummingbird, are you crazy? Do you believe that these drops of water will extinguish the fire? • I know, - the hummingbird replied - but I'm doing my part!
Our planet is in a great peril! Noxious products are polluting our nature! The atmosphere is losing the ozone! The natural resources are being depleted!
Poisonous gases are polluting • The soil • The air • The water
80% of the bees in the USA and Europe died during 2007. If bees went extinct, Mankind would only survive 4 years!
A leading cause for the ozone depletion is the production of chemicals used for manufacturing air conditioning and refrigerating systems, fire foam, insulation materials, and vials. These chemicals are very stable and do not decompose in the lower layers of the atmosphere, but carried by the air currents, they reach the stratosphere, react with the ozone molecules, and as a result, destroy them. The ozone hole
The temperature of our planet is increasing with 1 degree per 50 years. One of the basic causes is the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This kind of gas is permeable to the sun radiation in one direction, but impermeable to the heat radiation in the opposite direction, as a result of which, the greenhouse effect appears.
For the last 50 years, the carbon dioxide concentration has increased by 30% and it is considered it will multiply during the next 50 years, which will lead to a temperature increase on the Earth by 3-6 degrees.
To prevent our planet of resembling Venus where the temperature is 500 degrees Celsius, which is due to its thick atmosphere, it's time for us to change our habits!
Economize drinking water, because there is already a wont of it!
Use public transport to go to work or school! Bicycle is an alternative too!
Choose the locally grown fruits and vegetables! Thus one contributes to the reduction of the pollution caused by the transport of the imported ones!
Reuse bags when go shopping! A plastic bag lasts in the nature for 200 years being used only few minutes.
… 86% of which were junked! 28,000,000,000 plastic bottles were used during 2004!
Tooth paste, for example, could be sold without a cardboard packing. We pay what we junk. Packing accounts for 20% of the final product price. All of us win choosing unpacked products!
Recycling, recycling, recycling…!!! Every year, the waste junked by the European exceeds his/her body weight 6 times. The least we can do is to help recycling the content of our paper baskets.
Reasonably control energy consumption to reduce it! Buy energy saving electric devices! 1 degree reduction of the heating save 7% of energy!
Reduce the use of paper! The excessive use of paper leads to significant depletion of the resources of our forests!
The little good we are able to do is nothing! Little, multiplied by many, becomes much! It's not necessary for us to go to great lengths, but we don't have to hang about! Let's follow the example of the hummingbird! Let's everybody makes their contribution to save the planet!
We are 100% responsible for what happens and together we are able to prevent the worst outcome!
Life on our planet must go on!
We have to preserve our planet! Not to destroy it! Let's start before it turns into a desert ...or burns to ashes... Let's leave to our children a good heritage ...
The whole world is our home The beauty of Earth is continuously being created...
