We are now constantly being confronted by the dire developments that we see, feel and hear of the environment we live in. Concern of the impact to the environment is not just a recent thing. Problems such as air and water pollution date back to Roman times. Epidemic diseases spreading across Europe from the 14th to the 16th century were directly influenced by pollution. Awareness of conservation efforts may be a hot topic today but actually date back nearly 2,000 years where soil conservation was practiced in India, China and Peru.
