SectionC
Extinctionis a difficult concept to grasp. It is an eternal concept. It is not at alllike the killing of individual life forms that can be renewed through normalprocesses of reproduction. Nor is simply diminishing numbers.Nor is it damagethat can somehow be remedied or for which some substitute can be found. Nor isit something that only affects our own generation. Nor is it something thatcould be remedied by some supernatural power. It is, rather, an absolute andfinal act which there is no remedy on earth or in heaven. A species once extinct,it’s gone forever. However many generations succeed us in coming centuries,none of them will ever see this species that we extinguish. Not only us webring about extinction of life on a vast scale. We are also making the land andthe air and sea so toxic that the very conditions of life are beingdestroyed.As regard natural resources ,not only are the none renewableresources being used up in a of frenzy of processing, consuming and disposingbut we are also ruining much of our renewable resources. Such as the very solidself on which terrestrial life depends. The change that is taking place on theearth and in our minds is one of the greatest changes ever to take place inhuman affairs. Perhaps the greatest, since we are talking about is not simplyanother historical change or cultural modification. But it change thegeological and biological as well as psychological order of magnitude.（文都教育）
