               just about all types of soil. In the wake of an oil spill in
               Alaska in 1989, micro-organisms were used to help clean up
               the coast..
                  The following case will help clarify the economic impli-
               cations of the sea, land and atmosphere constantly being
               cleaned by living things. When the quality of water in New
               York City recently dropped, officials had two alternatives:
               One was a water-purification plant costing $6 to 8 billion.

               The other was the natural improvement of the reservoir car-
               rying water to the city and of the water itself, to cost $1 to
               1.5 billion. In the light of these findings, the New York au-
               thorities decided to improve the reservoir, because their
               study showed that this would save $6 billion over 10
               years. 157


                  Climate Regulation: Trees, plants and forests play a
               part in balancing the Earth's climate structure. Forests stabi-

               lize the humidity level in the air; in summer, they reduce the
               temperature by 5 to 8.5 degrees Centigrade (41 to 47 de-
               grees Fahrenheit), and in winter they raise it by 1.6 to 2 de-
               grees (34.7 to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit), thus moderating
               heat and cold. 158



               Trees, plants and forests play a role in the maintenance of planet
               Earth with its balanced climatic structure. The frequent floods and
               droughts in various parts of the world are a result  of the destruction
               of forests.
