2. What does the environmental crisis
mean?
The biosphere is the
global sum of all
ecosystems:
• the earth’s thin skin of
air, water and soil
• global network of
various habitats

3. Nothing is created, nothing is lost.
• Constant balanced
interaction
• No waste
• Everything is recycled
endlessly
But
• Balance has begun to
collapse

4. The environmental degradation.
• Ozone layer is thinning

5. •Pollution
We pollute our rivers, lakes
and oceans, and the sky,
forgetting that we need water
and air to live and breathe.

6. • Acid rain is destroying forests and lakes
• We destroy landscapes and rainforests
• We slaughter the world’s beautiful animals

7. The Environmentalists call for
changes NOW!
• As a result of new
technologies of land
we lose the soil
• The earth is steadily
warming with
potentially dangerous
effects

8. Thanks for your attention.
