Humanity's environmental problems have increased during recent times at great and varying rates, but there are general problems such as the imbalance of natural balances, ignorance of absolute dealing with natural resources, the problem of population growth, the problem of environmental pollution (water, air, and food), and the decline of the ozone layer. This century has left us with a heavy legacy, but the causes of this legacy have been created by us. As a result of the transfer of industrial technology, for example, without a good knowledge of this technology, industrial pollution has occurred in increasing forms and rates. It is dangerous, but if we discuss the ozone hole, it is a general result of industrial and agricultural technology worldwide. Hence, our conscience requires us to pause and reflect, trying to solve the surrounding problems, even to a degree that prevents their increase, if not reduces them to great but varying degrees.
