Ecologist's Day is a relatively young holiday, which was recently celebrated in Russia. The Environmental Day was officially introduced by presidential order in 2007. In general, ecology and environmental protection are concepts that appeared in our everyday life not very long ago, although the best minds of mankind have been concerned about these issues for many years.
The term “ecology” was first used by the German biologist Haeckel about 150 years ago, defining ecology as a branch of biology. Subsequently, ecology was given the status of science, which determines the relationship between living organisms and plant components in an environment changed by a person (or left unchanged by him). The concepts of "ecology" and "health" are inextricably linked. Indeed, polluted emissions of atmospheric air or groundwater often cause various diseases.
This is about science. But in everyday life of the inhabitants, this concept is often used in phrases of this kind: "ecology is to blame", or "bad ecology". Here, ecology is defined as a set of living conditions, the environment. And this environment is changing not for the better, thereby attracting the attention of the public, which is showing its civic activity by holding various meetings and pickets. These actions are aimed at protecting their health and maintaining a liveable environment. Therefore, the profession of an ecologist is becoming increasingly popular.
The work of an ecologist is not easy, because not all citizens understand that the future of our planet depends on each inhabitant. Everyone can contribute to improving living conditions. Today, such a specialist as an ecologist is needed at every enterprise and in most organizations. The purpose of this post is to monitor compliance with environmental laws in the enterprise units and contact with regulatory authorities (state). In addition, many environmental volunteers participate in various activities (such as cleaning sea water and saving animals from spilled oil or environmental education for residents).
For the benefit of the environment today, entire departments and ministries are working. These are, in particular, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Rosprirodnadzor, the Environmental Prosecutor's Office, the Committee and the Department of Nature Management. In addition, some enterprises specialize in maintaining a normal environment: they create equipment used to protect the environment, develop various projects that can minimize the negative impact on nature.
Ecologist Day is celebrated on June 5th. It was on this day that the UN hosted the first environmental conference . It was in 1972, and since next year this date has become World Environment Day. The establishment of this holiday is a way to attract people's attention to environmental issues and problems. This holiday is accompanied by various "green" actions and pickets, in schools - competitions of children's drawings on the theme of environmental protection.
But Ecologist Day is not only a professional holiday, it is a holiday of all descendants of people who are not indifferent to their future and the future. On this day, I want to wish everyone fresh air, clear water and clean land. In addition, it is simply necessary to urge the population to pay even more attention to the preservation of a favorable natural environment, the protection of all living things and our ecological future!
