One of the most important issues in life is connected with environment. No human being can

manage to live in the Universe without pure, clear nature. All societies in the world demand their

governments to meet their needs in environmental matters. The diversity of living species is

essential for many services we depend on - such as pollinating food crops, cleaning water and others. A number of environmental organizations which try to save nature have invested much

money carrying out the research on animals and plants, the rapid loss of biodiversity around the

world, and how biodiversity supports vital natural services. Today we are facing a number of problems connected with environment: air, water pollution, releasing toxic gas, destroying natural chain, constructing of many plants which also influence negatively the nature. No one can deny the fact that these bad effects on nature damage the human health as well. The number of illnesses because of poisoned, toxic air and water is rising. The nature is warning the whole humanity to ponder over this problem, to find solutions to them. The societies and organizations in the world are demanding the United Nations and other key world managing institutions to solve the global dysfunction of the nature. How can the countries meet these demands which also can be estimated as the social? If we take the UK as an example, we can see that air pollution costs the country’s economy ￡15bn every year in damage to human health, not including the cost of damage to the environment and crop. But also these simple actions can be done to meet social needs of citizens in an environmental issue. Planting as many trees, flowers as possible which absorb toxic air; besides saving pure water, electro energy, and not throwing litter in prohibited places can easily be done by any of us, teaching young generation to respect the nature can play a vital role in solving the problem as well. In short one thing can be said surely: each human being is responsible for the well-being and pure nature.
