Wikipedia

  1. ecological

    Ecology (from Ancient Greek οἶκος (oîkos) 'house', and -λογία (-logía) 'study of') is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment. Ecology considers organisms at the individual, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere level. Ecology overlaps with the closely related sciences of biogeography, evolutionary biology, genetics, ethology, and natural history. Ecology is a branch of biology, and it is not synonymous with environmentalism.

Examples of Ecological in a Sentence

  1. Jeffrey Lewis:

    The Russianleader claimed the nuclear-powered cruise missilehad an unlimited range, flew at a high speed and was capable of maneuverability that would allowit topierce any missile defense. One of the worlds most respected missile experts, Director of East Asia Nonproliferation Program Jeffrey Lewis, said Tuesday the U.S. tried to develop a similarly powered cruise missile in the 1950s and 60s but abandoned the project because it didnt make sense to put a nuclear reactor inside a missile. It was a technological nightmare and an ecological hazard, Jeffrey Lewis told Fox News. This is not a technology that I think makes a lot of sense for the United States. For whatever reason, the Russians have a different sense, maybe because they treat environmentalists differently than we do in the United States.

  2. Emily Grossman:

    We believe that the continued governmental inaction over the climate and ecological crisis now justifies peaceful and non-violent protest and direct action, even if this goes beyond the bounds of the current law, we therefore support those who are rising up peacefully against governments around the world that are failing to act proportionately to the scale of the crisis.

    Without a continually rising G.D.P., we’re told, we risk social instability, declining standards of living and pretty much any hope of progress, but what about the counterintuitive possibility that our current pursuit of growth, rabid as it is and causing such great ecological harm, might be incurring more costs than gains?

  4. Oscar Maurtua:

    The Repsol oil spill in Ventanilla is the worst ecological disaster that has occurred in Lima in recent times and has caused serious damage to hundreds of fishermen's families. Repsol must compensate for this damage immediately.

  5. Matt Gompper:

    Rabbits, wherever they're found, tend to have a relatively robust impact on their environment because they're primary herbirvores, whether the impact of the virus is such that we'll see those very dramatic ecological changes as a result is still an unknown.
