Geoscience and Geoscience
[Introduction to Contents]
Despite the fact that resources are indispensable to our lives, there are not many people who have knowledge of the earth science. Why is that? After thinking about it, three reasons came to my mind.
The first reason is that the theme is too big to be familiar to me. The second reason is that "I don't know how to utilize that knowledge in our lives."
The third reason is that school education about resources. Actually, for the past 20 years or so, most high school students have learned little about the earth science. Only about 5 percent of high school students have taken the "Geoscience," which is a science subject of high school.
In other words, I think that the fact that more than 90 percent of young people in Japan have knowledge about energy and the earth's environment at the level of junior high school students. Unfortunately, these facts are not recognized at all.
However, if it is said that "oil will run out in 0 years", it is easy to understand that it is a very important issue related to the lives of the people. However, I can't think of what individuals can do about the earth. Unlike politics, economy, and social issues, it is difficult to imagine what they can do. It is difficult to imagine what they can do However, the main text is on the left page of each chapter, and the main points are summarized with illustrations on the right page. ｡
