               without disappearing into the ground.

                  In addition, living things also play important roles in the
               global recycling of such elements as phosphorus, sulfur and
               others. One point requiring emphasizing is that these cycles
               operate with perfect efficiency. Despite all the advanced
               technological means of the age we live in, only about 10%
               of our waste is ever recycled. 136  Yet the recycling efforts car-
               ried out by living things for millions of years is nearly 100%.

               No doubt, this is one of the countless marvels of creation in
               the system of interconnected living things.

                                     Ecosystem


                  The activities of every ecosystem, be it a lake, or a for-
               est or a coral reef, are largely controlled by living things. As
               has been mentioned throughout this book, different organ-
               isms play major roles in maintaining an environment able to
               sustain human life. In addition, scientific research has lately
               revealed that biodiversity increases the productivity of
               ecosystems, their efficiency and resistance. The more
               species in a given environment, the healthier and better-or-

               dered is the system's functioning.
