♦ MONEY
Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and paper notes of one kind or another. But money can’t buy everything. It doesn’t buy happiness.
Money has become one of the main things in our modem life. Some people live their lives to earn money. They work hard, trying to earn as much money as they can. Some of them become crazy about it and lose their dignity hunting money. They don’t appreciate such important things as family, friendship, love and other feelings. Such people become greedy, they spend their lives in loneliness.
It is silly to deny that money influences our life a lot. As W.S. Maugham said “Money is like the sixth feeling without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.” I quite agree. A person can’t be happy if he has no money to satisfy his natural needs. But I think that money should have a limit. A person shouldn’t have too much money. It begins destroying him and becomes his curse. Big sums of money really bring different problems because people feel very envious and jealous of other’s fortune. The majority of all the crimes are made because of money. But there are a lot of people who consider that money is not all-powerful. Humanity, dignity, intelligence, kindness and other good qualities of a person can’t be bought for money. We’ll never be able to buy pure love, real friendship and loving and caring family. But life isn’t worth living without these things. It’s not worth living if money has become the point of it either.

In one of the poems by Robert Rozhdestvensky on the nature said so, "Strikes me not her beauty, amazes her patience." Indeed, for millennia people have sought to learn from nature as much as possible of its riches, sometimes even more than what she could give. Man is not Pro-hundred has changed the nature, it almost destroyed the habitat has led to the fact that he can no longer live in a new environment. Practically no such spheres of life, wherever there was standing environmental issues. On my deep belief, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the destruction of the environment, and ultimately, our lives. Very much that our consciousness is changed and we began to treat nature as a very close and dear friend. I love the Smolensk region, I consider it one of the most beautiful and uni-tion of regions of Russia. The nature of the Smolensk region needs serious protection, names-but that's why I chose the theme of his examination of the abstract protected of territory, among which the pearl is beautiful national Park "Smo-Lena Lakeland". The aim of this work was the analysis of the complex undertaken in the region of environmental protection measures for the preservation and improvement of natural conditions and existing species diversity of vegetation and wildlife, as well as the rationale for further work on creation of new especially protected natural zones in the Smolensk region. Due to the significant deterioration in the last decades the environmental condition of the region's territory and constantly existing in some parts of the emergence of new threats of negative consequences of human activities have matured the need to create multiple issues for the protection of the natural environment and managing the use of natural resources. Changes in the natural environment associated with economic activities-STU, in the Smolensk region, as in many other parts of the country, is very significant. Heavily determining the living conditions of many people, they require special under-the moves to address the issues of production development, protection and rational use of natural resources. Not only environmental conditions, but also its prediction become important factors in almost all spheres of life. How these problems are solved in the Smolensk region? While investigating this issue, I want to note that currently, unfortunately, our area does not exist a General program of rehabilitation of the natural environment. No such Pro-grams and for specific territories, administrative districts, natural regions, cities. There were only attempts of their preparation for the basins of the Dnieper, the Desna. The development of activities that ensure the cleanliness of surface and ground waters, worked on committees for the basins of these rivers, which included representatives of a number of regions of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Developed by committees separate activities to improve the state of the natural environment in the basins of these rivers are in practice not been implemented due to lack of funds. But in the decision of several issues on the problems of nature protection progress has been made. Analyzing presented in this abstract material, it can be concluded that at the present time on the territory of Smolensk region the protected areas system is not fully formed. You must create a new for-kasneci and monuments of nature. Indeed, at present, in the region separation; this is far from all natural objects and sites of cultural landscapes, to be worth maintaining the protection mode. It must be a territory or natural systems, have the following important conservation implications.
