The poisoning of the world’s land, air and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilization. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars, earthquakes
and floods, but it is potentially one of history’s greatest dangers to human life on
earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable.
Are the present environmental problems serous enough to be acknowledged,
or so minor that they can actually be ignored? The following facts, based on recent statistics and research, describe the present state of the environment.
17 million hectares of forest disappear annually through logging. This is
equal to clear-cutting a forest area the size of a football field every second.
Half of the earth’s forests have already been destroyed, and it has been estimated that at this rate there will be no forest left in 200 years. Although forests
are considered to be a renewable natural resource, their intense use has led to
this ominous situation. According to the European Economic Council, of the
forests of 23 European countries, about one quarter are suffering from disease
and thousands of hectares have already died.
Annually 120 million square kilometers of land are laid waste.
