Long time ago, the Earth mother left our so rich energy ,but because of the development of the world industrial economy, the fast increase of population, and the unlimited increase of the human desire, our living environment, health and safety are becoming more and more worse, for example, the resources reduce, water pollution becomes worse.

So, we can say, the highconsumption and high-pollution economy model and life style is becoming the killer of the
