Environmental protection is one of those global problems, the solution of which requires a comprehensive and universal solution, the introduction of a set of effective measures to restore natural resources, prevent pollution of the world's oceans and atmosphere, deforestation, etc. For centuries, people have thoughtlessly spent natural we alth, and today the time has come when we realize that the planet's reserves are not endless and require not only rational use, but also restoration.
The main factors that environmentalists pay attention to are air pollution, which provokes the thinning of the ozone layer of the atmosphere and leads to the "greenhouse effect", the discharge of harmful substances into the oceans, which causes the death of its inhabitants, an increase in production waste that are not subject to decomposition. The BP oil development incident, which led to a real environmental disaster, showed how much more environmental protection is needed in the oil and gas complex. Indeed, in this sectorindustry, any accident leads to horrific consequences, from which nature cannot recover for years.
Today, environmental protection is one of the most important issues that governments and public organizations in most countries of the world decide. Scientists are looking for more gentle technologies for the production and processing of raw materials, developing complexes for its subsequent disposal or reuse, exploring the possibilities of reducing the amount and concentration of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, trying to use safe energy sources and more environmentally friendly fuels.
It is the unfavorable ecological situation that affects not only the natural ones
resources, but also on human he alth: the average life expectancy of people is decreasing, the number of babies born with developmental pathologies or congenital diseases is increasing, the number of infertile couples and cancer patients is growing. It was such disappointing statistics that became the reason for the development of a set of measures aimed at changing the current situation.
Protection of the environment in Russia in recent years has become one of the priorities of the domestic policy of the state. It involves the development and implementation of new, safe production technologies, measures for the restoration of natural resources (new forest plantations and limitation of logging, restoration of the population of water bodies, rational use of subsoil resources, reuse of various raw materials, etc.). Along with these measures, the number of environmentalzones, national parks and reserves.
The State Committee for Nature Protection is called upon to regulate and control the use of resources. His direct responsibility is the development of regulations, requirements and rules. Only in our country, the norms of environmental law are included in the main law of the state - the Constitution. In addition, in order to properly use resources in various industries, the Subsoil Law, as well as the Water, Forest and Land Codes have been developed. Despite a fairly large number of environmental departments, environmental protection in our country is still not sufficiently developed. And this is not so much a flaw in the state power as each person's own attitude towards the world in which he lives.
