Ecological Crisis- live Green !!!

PONDER THIS:

The gradual depletion of the ozone layer and the related "greenhouse effect" has now reached crisis proportions as a consequence of industrial growth, massive urban concentrations and vastly increased energy needs. Industrial waste, the burning of fossil fuels, unrestricted deforestation, the use of certain types of herbicides, coolants and propellants,: all of these are known to harm the atmosphere and environment. The resulting meteorological and atmospheric changes range from damage to health to the possible future submersion of low-lying lands.While in some cases the damage already done may well be irreversible, in many other cases it can still be halted. It is necessary, however, that the entire human community -- individuals, States and international bodies -- take seriously the responsibility that is theirs.

The most profound and serious indication of the moral implications underlying the ecological problem is the lack of RESPECT FOR LIFE evident in many patterns of environmental pollution.

RESPECT FOR LIFE, AND ABOVE ALL FOR THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMANPERSON, IS THE ULTIMATE GUIDING NORM FOR ANY SOUND ECONOMIC,INDUSTRIAL OR SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS.
