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.
