For that in Moscow special factories were built. For example in 1998, factories on processing dust was advanced 423’000 tons of waste products, buried 980’000 tons of waste products. For processing waste we use advanced technologies. The new factory in Чертаново and Котляково is constructed, these factories can process on 40’000 tons per one year, the factory in Рудникого is constructed, but the level of the processed waste is still very low. For example in 1998 at factories it was advanced 6% of waste products, 35%

were buried. Others sent to dumps of the Moscow area. In 1998 it was liquidated 13’000 cases of illegal dumps of the Moscow area.

As for me I can see that more and more factories are built and we are not going to sink in a heap of waste products.

How can a contradiction between the technological progress and ecology be solved?

My survey research claimed that 100% of Moscow citizen want there streets to be cleaned, but only 29.8% of them are ready to pay more taxes to deal with the problem. Next problem is that every third person in the street will through away different kind of liter just in the street for different reasons. From that fact the conclusion is that we should not only think of cleaned streets, we must work on saving them cleaned. That is what we must teach our children if we are not going to live like pigs.

The next kind of pollution that we can easily feel on our self is the air pollution.

It is not a new for any one that cars, which all we like, are the main cause for it.

Some people say that we should better use bicycles, not to pollute the environment; I advise them to live in caves with out electricity and other technological conveniences, to protect the environment. But there are much more useful ideas of saving our planet and there is one thing which sums them up: - The main idea is that technology must help us to protect the environment which has already suffered from it. From that idea recycling factories were maid, different filters invented, people even started to invent alternative kinds of fuel, which are nearly harm less to the planet, and at least we think so at the moment. There are even cars maid, which are working on new fuel elements, this is how we have called these kind of fuel.

Surely we will not be able to use these cars tomorrow and even in the next 10 years, that is why our government must continue working on pollution problems in our country at real time, and we will have to come to euro-3 standard. We must also use special filters in our cars and other last developments in this area.

What do you think must be done to make the ecological situation of Moscow better? That is the question which was told to people on line.

RESULTS (24 – 25march) 2004.

Big thanks to the RosBusinessConsulting by which the pool was maid it’s site- www.rbcnews.com

I think that it shows that 80% of Moscow citizen are interested in making our environment cleaner and that the main things they are interested is the air pollution which was produced by the plants and factories out of the city.

It shoes that people sees the problem, but as I have already sad they do nothing to solve It, that is why there must be strict government control on the pollution in big cities like Moscow, government must also think of the recycling of the waste products, and of course much more strict ecological laws must be maid. There must be even Special Forces made to control the pollution in the streets and all these must be not on paper, but in the air we breathe, water we drink, and in the streets we are all walking through.

Our planet needs us as well as we need our planet.
