The mankind has succeeded in creation of instruments of manufactures and technologies of destruction to itself similar and practically was not engaged in creation of the industry on processing waste products of the activity. In result besides an annual gain of volume of the advanced industrial wastes, including toxic, all over the world there are also old burial places, which number in industrially - the advanced countries is estimated in tens and hundreds thousand, and sizes of volumes of waste products achieve hundreds billions tons. Thus, if to speak about rehabilitation of an environment, having in view of systematic processing waste products (first of all especially dangerous) expenses in tens and hundred billions dollars one year are required during decades. For territories of the Russian Federation by the beginning of 1996 it is saved up in storehouses, in warehouses, burial grounds, ranges, dumps 1405 million tons of waste products (the reporting under the form № 2 ТП " toxic waste products ").

A number of the countries for a burial place use flooding in the sea (ocean), that, in our opinion, it should be completely forbidden by the international agreements without dependence from a class of danger of waste products. It to a certain extent and a moral problem: has made ~ process  in the territory, instead of use as a dump that belongs to all (the seas, mountains, woods).          

Actually to processing of industrial wastes now is exposed no more than 20 % from total amount. Technologies of processing industrial wastes it is possible to classify as follows:

1. thermal technologies;

2. physical and chemical technologies;

3. biotechnologies.

So, we see that our environment offers an abundance of subject matter for discussion. The problems and prospects of the blue planet interest not only scientist and futurologists, but also politicians, industry, the public – and above all, young people! There is hardly a young person who is not conserved with the preservation of our natural habitat. To recognize environmental problems and master them, to reduce and avoid environmental pollution, to discover and develop ecologically sound technologies – there are the essential building blocks for our future.

Whether scientist or politicians, bankers or student, whether Greek, Norwegian, Hungarian or Finn … all are encouraged to make a contribution towards protecting the environment. Dedication and the courage to change one’s way of thinking are called for.

We are to stop pollution. So, we can grow plants and trees, to purify waste, to start urgent campaigns in order to preserve environment For example, in 1989 in Australia, Sydney. In a year the same kind of action was held all over Australia and it was called “Clean up Australia” the following years 110 countries hold the similar actions within the ecological program of the UNO.

Nowadays there are many different pressure and interests groups in many countries, which try to find solutions to the problems of pollution at the national and international level. So they are groups of people with a common interest in trying to draw the public attention to environment problems, to influence the government decisions.

Greenpeace is a very famous pressure group. It started functioning in 1971. Its headquarters are at Amsterdam, but it operates in 25 countries worldwide. The aim of Greenpeace is to protect wildlife of toxic wastes, nuclear tests.

“Friends of the Earth” (FoE) is one of the British pressure groups with an international reputation. Its general aim is to conserve the planet’s resources and reduce pollution. FoE was established in 1971 and now it operated in 44 countries worldwide. It campaigns among other things, for recycling and renewable energy, and the destruction of wildlife and habitat. The main campaigning issues of the FoE are:

• The protection of all animals and plants in danger of extinction.
• An end to the destruction of wildlife and habitats.
• A program of energy conservation measures, etc.

So, a number of campaigns resulted in:

• The ban or other hunting in England and Wales
• And indefinite delay in the construction of the Commercial East Breeder Reactor, etc.

But not only great groups can influence the problem of pollution. So, different people have their own opinions on this problem:

• The continued pollution of the earth, if unchecked, well eventually destroys the fitness of this planet as a place for human life. (B. Commoner).
• The Earth has enough for every man’s need, but not for man’s greed. (Ganlui).

And I agree with them because it is really so. And terrible examples prove them.

The Baltic Sea is a special case. Because it is such a small sea and it becomes dirty very easily. Its waster changes slowly through the shallow straits. As many as 250 rivers run into the Baltic. There are hundreds of factories in these rivers and millions of people live along them. Quite a lot of big cities lie on its coast. All these combined with the active navigation of the sea naturally affects the state of the sea water and the shore line flora and fauna. People suffer from the waster pollution; cancer deaths increase people’s concern. 

And there is no escape from this ecological crisis without organizing a single body dealing with the environmental problems, developing and carrying out a nationwide program of environmental protection and co-operating with international schemes.
