Traditional Versus Ecological Engineering
Traditional engineering use the concrete to compensate the flaws which have mentioned above, but this method can not really reinforce the natural environment’s power—over-using the concrete can enlarge the destruction for natural environment. Recently, the new method, Ecological Engineering Methods, has been invented, so the nature-working method engineer has attracted people’s attention, respect and broad application. Moreover, nature-working method engineer notice the importance of the environment protection, soil and water conservation, and reduction and protection for the natural calamity, thus, people can maintain the sustainable exploitation permanently.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional, ecological and/or engineering:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
