Today, the ecological situation in the world can be described as close to critical. Among the global environmental problems are the following: 1) Destroyed or disposed of thousands of species of plants and animals; 2) Largely destroyed forest cover; 3) Rapidly reducing the available supply of minerals; 4) Not only the world's oceans is being depleted as a result of the destruction of living organisms, but also cease to be a regulator of natural processes; 5) The atmosphere in many places polluted to the maximum allowable size, and clean air is deficient; 6) Partially broken ozone layer, which protects against harmful for all living space radiation; 7) Pollution of surface and disfigurement of natural landscapes: the Earth can not find a single square meter of surface, which was not artificially created by human elements. Steel quite obvious malignancy of consumer attitudes to nature, just as the object of obtaining wealth and certain wealth. For humanity is vital change in the philosophy of relationship to nature. What measures are needed to solve global environmental problems! First of all, we should move from consumer-technocratic approach to nature to seek harmony with it. For this purpose, in particular, requires a number of targeted measures to cleaner production: environmentally friendly technologies, mandatory environmental impact assessment of new projects, creating a closed loop waste-free technologies. Another measure aimed at improving the relationship between man and nature, is a reasonable self-restraint in the expenditure of natural resources — especially energy resources (oil, coal) that are life-essential humanity. Estimates of international experts suggest that if we start from the current level of consumption the end of XX c The coal reserves will last another 430 years of oil — for 35 years, natural gas — for 50 years. Time, especially on oil, not so great. In this regard, a reasonable structural changes are needed in the global energy balance toward increased use of nuclear energy, as well as search for new, efficient, safe and harmless to the environment as sources of energy, including space. However, the significant effect of all these and other measures can give only by joint efforts of all countries in order to save nature. The first attempt at such an international association was carried out at the beginning of the XX century. Then in November 1913 in Switzerland hosted the first international meeting on environmental issues with representatives from 18 major countries in the world. Now go interstate forms of cooperation to a qualitatively new level. Are international conventions on environmental protection quotas for catching fish, the ban on whaling, etc. made a variety of joint development and programs. The activity of public organizations for the protection of the environment — the "green"Greenpeace". Environmental and Green Cross International Green Crescent is currently developing a program to address the problem of "ozone holes" in the Earth's atmosphere. However, it is recognized that at very different levels of socio-political development of the world's international cooperation in the environmental field is still far from its perfection. Another direction for the solution of environmental problems, and may be in the future — most important of all, is the formation of ecological consciousness in society, people's understanding of nature as any other living creature on which it is impossible to rule without prejudice to him and myself. Environmental training and education in society should be placed on the state level, held in early childhood. In any inspirations, being born mind, and aspirations, the same vector of human behavior must be its harmony with nature.
