Nearly 70 years ago, a Soviet geochemistVladimir Vernadsky, wrote that global society guided by science, would soften the human environmental impact, and the Earth would become a "noosphere" — a planet of the mind, "life's domain ruled by reason".Today, Humans have realised the environmental damage of the last century. With the aid of satellites and supercomputers, they now have a real chance to balance economic development with the environment beginning with sustaining the Earths ecological systems.
We've come through a period of finally understanding the nature and effect of humanity's transformation of the Earth," said William Clark, a biologist at Harvard University. "Having realised it, can we become clever enough to be able to maintain the rates of progress?" he asked. "I think we can.
Some scientists say people can't understand the living planet well enough to know how to manage it. But this problem attracts world leaders and thousands of other participants to summits where they discuss ways of sustainable development.
missions of carbon dioxide, whether from an Ohio power plant or a Bangkok taxicab, contribute to global warming. Shoppers in Tokyo seeking inexpensive picture frames send people deep into Indonesian forests.
7 Experts conclude that the same inventiveness that accelerated human development can be used to soften human impact.
На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкWhy We Go To School За и против компьютеровComputers now are an essential part of our life. I can’t imagine my life without a computer. There so many advantages of using a computer. First of all they make our lives easier. Computers help us at school, university, at work. It’s faster to write something on computer, than by hand, it’s more convenient to send emails than letters by post. I often use computer in my studies, for example, if I need to read a book I can easily download it from the Internet. I also use Internet to search for information I need for school. I like watching movies very much. But I don’t like these movies shown at our cinemas and the choice is not so wide. Using my computer I can find any movie I like and moreover I can watch films in English. Computer and Internet help me to communicate with my friends who live in other countries and find new friends. It would be difficult to stay in touch with them without computer, but with the help of it we can send emails to each other, share photos, music and so on. But unfortunately some people keep no measure in using computers. Children and teenagers are addicted to computer games and don’t have time for studying or reading books. Some of them prefer online chatting to face to face communication with their friends. Computer harms our psychological state and eye sight. So I think computers are really useful if we don’t use them excessively. Компьютеры сейчас – неотъемлемая часть нашей жизни. Я не могу представить себе жизнь без компьютера. Существует столько преимуществ использования компьютера. Прежде всего, они делают нашу жизнь проще. Компьютеры помогают нам в школе, университете и на работе. Намного быстрее набрать текст на компьютере, чем написать от руки, намного удобнее отправить электронное сообщение, чем письмо по почте. Я часто использую компьютер для учебы, например, если мне нужно прочитать книгу, я могу просто скачать ее из интернета. Я также могу найти информацию, которая мне нужна для школы. Я люблю смотреть кино. Но мне не нравятся те фильм, которые показывают у нас в кинотеатрах, и выбор не очень большой. С помощью моего компьютера я могу найти фильмы, которые хочу и, более того, можно смотреть фильм на английском. Компьютер и интернет помогают мне общаться с друзьями, которые живут в других странах и находить новых друзей. Было бы сложно поддерживать контакт с ними без компьютера, но с его помощью мы можем посылать друг другу электронные сообщения, делиться фотографиями, музыкой и так далее. Но, к сожалению, некоторые не знают меры в использовании компьютера. Дети и подростки зависимы от компьютерных игр и у них нет времени на учебу и чтение. Некоторые предпочитают общаться с друзьями онлайн, а не лицом к лицу. Компьютер отрицательно воздействует на психологию человека и зрение. Я думаю, что компьютеры полезны во многом, если мы не злоупотребляем ими.
