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.

Peer pressure is a real problem that teenagers face today. It affects children and puts the pressure on them.
There are different kinds of pressure. Teenagers are taught to smoking, drinking beer and other alcohol drinks, having sex even if they are not ready and to wear too extravagant clothes.
Sometimes elder children may put the pressure on you to take part in something you do not wish to do. Unfotunately, many teens are afraid to say NO as they do not want to lose the respect of their classmates. But really this is the false impression about respect. There are different ways to avoid the pressure on you.
-You should find someone to share your problems with and talk to him/her.
- Change one's mind and try to assure that you have a different opinion about something.
-Your own strengh can help you to stay firm.
-Be confidient in doing something that you know better.
-Pay attention to your personal feelings what is GOOD and what is BAD.
-Find new hobby ( or pay more attention to your old one), do sports.
If you still find it difficult to handle yourself, just again talk to someone you trust.
