The world’s oceans are so vast that they can cope with the present levels of pollution. However,
little is known about the long-term effects of such slow poisoning. The most serious problem of modern
time is that man is destroying the earth’s natural resources and transforming huge areas into
wasteland. As a result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow enough to feed the world’s rapidly
increasing population. A way of protecting all the wildlife on the earth must also be found as many
species are in danger of disappearing completely from the face of the earth. The danger, however, is not
confined solely to the land and the sea. The smoke in the atmosphere, for example, is increasing so
much that the amount of sunlight has been reduced in many cities. Man’s whole environment is being
changed in a serious way.
