Tip 2: Help your city.
Volunteer work, public action on planting something, cleaning on the street. All this can greatly help us and our "Big House". It is pleasant to live in beauty and purity. And it is also very important. Especially for our city.

Tip 3: Save fuel!
It is not necessary to abandon your car or switch to bicycles / public transport.
60-90 km / h optimum speed for the car. If you do not exceed it, you can save 20% of fuel! It's simple!:)

(Be careful driving. Please do not forget about road safety. Machines are a dangerous form of transport. Take care of yourself and your loved ones)

Tip 4: Do not forget to turn off excess electricity.

Tip 5: Choose the right materials.
Polyethylene and plastic should be avoided. They decompose for a very long time and can harm your health.

Tip 6: Save water !!!
Fresh clean water is depleted. We must use it rationally.

Tip 7: Give away unnecessary things.

Tip 8: Do not litter ♥.

Tip 9: Do not forget about the environment in the country. It is there that you can apply all your skills and knowledge to 100%.
(I know you can! :))

Tip 10: Do not violate environmental laws.
Do not poach or tear snowdrops. Sometimes it seems to us that we know better. Or that once you can. But it is not. We like to say that some people are wrong. But in doing so, we are wrong even more.]]> 2018-10-30 19:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/298711006 Ozone layer sunrise_in_the_dark https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/299697142 Perhaps this is not quite on the topic, but a very interesting video about the ozone layer.

ecologica problems of the animal world began long ago, have not disappeared now. If until recently, animals were exterminated, as a rule, for the sake of food, today poachers kill absolutely for other reasons.

In North America for a hundred years, from 1800 to 1900, man reduced the number of bison from 75 million to several hundred. For about the same period, but a century earlier almost disappeared sea otters and nutria, 50 thousand tigers in 1900 and about 6000 individuals today. In the wild forests of South-East China is home to only about a thousand pandas. The last time the Tasmanian wolf of Australia seen in 1936. And how many animals die under the wheels of cars. This is only a small part of those examples, which are full of the history of the relationship between man and wildlife.

Effects and types

The consequences can be global and specific. Like extinction of animals, their protection must have two objectives. Protect the animals themselves as well as their habitat. For this purpose, protected areas of various formats and legal status are created. These are: reserves, reserves, national and natural parks.

A special role is assigned to the red book. Since 1949, the international Union for conservation of nature has included in its list of animals and plants that are threatened with extinction

Global warming, it has been worrying environmentalists and ordinary people around the world for several decades.

The consequences of this problem are quite bleak: an increase in the level of the world's oceans, a decrease in agricultural production, a shortage of fresh water (primarily for land that is North and South of the equator). One of the main causes of climate change is greenhouse gases.

Environmentalists have proposed the following solutions to this problem:

- reduction of carbon dioxide emissions

- transition to carbon-free fuels

- development of a more cost-effective fuel strategy

Cameron)

Have you ever wondered this question? What does it mean? Why precisely "green"?
The Internet offers many answers. From various legends about "green men" to ... black ... swans (Search "Google Books")? /Ok, let's say/ But this is not accurate.

However, this does not mean that truthful articles are not. This is not true. And now we will "fly" to the main idea of one of them. /laugh/ O, sorry, this is not the funniest joke.

In the resources in which I was looking to write: "To be green means to be a guard of the environment" (sounds proudly). These people are taking steps to limit the negative impact on our planet. Some of them are members of certain organizations or "clubs". For example, Green Peace.

Each of them does everything he can. From cleaning the beaches to help in solving global problems.

So, my dear black swan, now you know a little more about this. And I want to ask you as a conclusion: how green is your soul and deeds? Do you agree to take responsibility for your actions? Is it ready to take care of nature?]]> 2018-11-05 10:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300383788 Ecology of Samara region abdrakhmanova https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300383925 A large number of environmental problems of the Samara region are associated with increased air pollution, annually 600 thousand tons of harmful elements are released into the atmosphere. In Samara, air pollution is 43% higher than the average in Russia.
Every year, the Samara region accumulates on its territory up to 500 thousand tons of industrial waste, of which only a third is reused. About 12% of the used waste is processed into cement, a small part of oil sludge is further processed at oil refineries.
Millions of tons of unused waste remain withdrawn from economic circulation, irretrievably lost and not finding application in production. So, to date, the region has accumulated more than 66 million tons of various wastes.]]> 2018-11-05 10:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300383925 tymgoev011 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300389699 Ozone depletion

This environmental problem leads to an increase in the inflow of ultraviolet radiation to The earth's surface. To date, the ozone layer over the temperate countries has already decreased by 10 %, which is irreparable harm to human health, can cause skin cancer, vision problems. The depletion of the ozone layer can also damage agriculture, as many crops are damaged by excessive ultraviolet radiation.

The emergence of the problem is associated with the wasteful production and agricultural activities. It's time to think:

about the installation of treatment facilities for Smoking chimneys;

about replacement of chemical fertilizers with organic;

about the transition of transport to electricity.

]]> 2018-11-05 10:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300389699 Ozone Protection. Method 1: "On their own." sunrise_in_the_dark https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300399313 So, as I promised, I rummaged through the net and found what we can do for the ozone layer.

You might be surprised, but it consists of trifles. This is possible even when you don’t want to think about such things as environmental protection.

Let's consider it as components of one big and great cause that we can do! Okay? -)
Then "flew" -)

I would like to start from another ... But I think this is important, and therefore ... Ok.

1. Many of us have fire extinguishers. They are also located in schools, shops and other public places. But not everyone knows that they, too, must be chosen correctly. And if your main ingredient is a halogenated hydrocarbon, take the fire extinguisher for recycling to a hazardous waste collection center and buy a model without ozone-depleting substances.
So it does not harm the ozone layer.

2. Do not buy chlorofluorocarbons spray products.

3. Repair refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners for signs of any problems, without delays. They use ozone-depleting substances. You understand what threatens the leak

(If you wish, you can buy new refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners that do not contain freon or other chlorofluorocarbons).

4. Soon, we will begin to live separately from our parents (someone already) and then we will need furniture. In this case, the sites are advised to buy wood, wood products and plywood that have not been treated with methyl bromide.

5. Do not buy stationery products such as putty or compressed air containing methyl chloroform (oh, hell).]]> 2018-11-05 11:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300399313 Ozone Protection. Method 2: "Together". sunrise_in_the_dark https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300408563 Before that, there were solutions to the problems that we could take on our own. However, if we are together, we can do more, right?

1. Check out the food manufacturers. If the use of methyl bromide is still allowed in your area or country, write or call the local authorities to ban the use of this ozone depleting substance (I do not know ... Send to the grocery store).

2. (Actually for people with asthma and similar diseases) Ask your doctor to recommend you medical devices that do not emit HVI.

3. Sign petitions with manufacturers or write letters to companies that manufacture products with CFCs so that they correctly label their products.

4. (This is unlikely for us, schoolchildren, but teachers can take note) Talk with friends, especially with those who work with cars, in manufacturing or farming, that they use less of these chemicals. The Ozone Hole can eliminate only after the complete elimination of these chemicals from use and it takes time.

Tomorrow we will become bald?! xx_dante https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/300560852 Normally, the pH (pH) of precipitation falling in the solid or liquid state is 5.6–5.7. Being slightly acidic solution, this water does not harm the environment.

Another thing - precipitation with high acidity. Their formation indicates a high level of pollution of the atmosphere and water near oxides. They are considered abnormal.

The reasons:

1.emissions from enterprises of metallurgy, engineering and energy;

2.methane emissions from rice cultivation;

3.vehicle exhaust;

4.the use of sprays containing hydrogen chloride;

5.burning of organic fuel (fuel oil, coal, gas, firewood);

6.coal, gas and oil production;

7.soil fertilization with nitrogen-containing preparations;

8.freon leak from air conditioners and refrigerators.
People are guilty of this problem!

Acidification of soil leads to leaching of nutrients and the release of toxic metal ions. As a result, the root system of plants is destroyed, and poisons accumulate in the cambium. Acid rain, damaging conifer needles and leaf surface, violates the process of photosynthesis. It contributes to the weakening and slowing down of plant growth, causes their drying out and death, provokes diseases in animals. Humid air with particles of sulfur and sulfates is dangerous for people suffering from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. It can cause exacerbation of asthma, pulmonary edema, and increased mortality from bronchitis.
loss of fish resources;
reducing the population of birds and animals that live nearby;
water intoxication;
leaching of heavy metals.

Save our planet !!

Scientists around the world are looking for solutions to the problem of acid rain. !!! One of the main methods of control is the installation of expensive treatment facilities at each plant, the filters of which will prevent heavy metal emissions and dangerous oxides. Such installations will not only reduce the likelihood of acid rain, but also make the air cleaner. !!!

!!! Another way to solve the problem is to reduce the number of vehicles in large cities in order to reduce exhaust emissions. In addition, it is necessary to restore, not cut down forests, clean polluted water bodies, recycle, and not burn garbage. !!!

Consider the most pressing causes that lead to soil desertification:
-Water scarcity
-Climate change
-Tree felling
-Cattle overrun
-Biological death
-Insufficient drainage
-Salinization
-Lower groundwater level
-Termination of reclamation works
There are other reasons that cause a change in the soil, leading to desertification ...

The fight against desertification processes is conducted in the following directions:

     · Early detection of desertification processes with the aim of their prevention and elimination, focusing on the formation of conditions for rational environmental management;

     · Creation of protective forest belts along the edges of oases, borders of fields and along canals;

     · The creation of forests and green "umbrellas" of local breeds - psamophytes in the depths of the desert to protect livestock from strong winds, scorching sun rays and strengthen the food supply;
The pressure will always be 120 to 80 and the vessels will not burst if you drink a glass in the morning or in the evening ...
     · Restoration of vegetation in opencast mining areas, along with the construction of the irrigation network, roads, pipelines and all places where it was destroyed;

     · Consolidation and afforestation of mobile sands with the purpose of protection from sand drifts and blowing of irrigated lands, canals, settlements, railways and highways, oil and gas pipelines, industrial enterprises.

But each of us must also do something:
1) Plant trees
2) Save water
3) Do not use aerosols
4) Keep trees
5) Keep forest dwellers
6) Try not to go by transport and finally

Massive demand before the New year for coniferous trees generates problems of their illegal cutting down and disposal after the holidays. Therefore, various States are trying to strictly regulate the cutting of trees for the New year. Illegal felling of trees is a crime for which the criminal code of the Russian Federation provides liability. Cutting down trees will not harm the environment if the "new year" trees are grown in special forest nurseries and forestry. Their planting and cutting down is carried out as planned, which does not damage the forest Fund.

This means that we are is one with nature and we should protect it as ourself. But what does it take to move from being green in theory to being green in practice? It is not enough to accept that humans need to respect and protect our environment. Being green means committing to taking steps, both big and small, to minimise the impact our activities are having on the environment. There are different ways to take care of nature:
1. Replace burned out light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
2. use bike instead of car whenever possible
3. you can sort the trash
4. go to the store with your fabric bag
5. Use a refillable water bottle

The accumulated environmental damage in Chapaevsk and Togliatti.
The problem of degradation of small and medium rivers. A separate problem is the degradation of the former Volga, which already isn't a river, but a reservoir. The reason for this is a whole range of problems. For example, the discharge of a large amount of pollutants from the surface runoff, without purification and the widespread use of phosphorus-containing detergents, which lead to the "bloom" of water.
The lack of a full-fledged ecological infrastructure of the towns of Samara Region.
Chemical pollution of air in Togliatti.
The problem of water quality in the Avtozavodsky district of Togliatti. During the intake and water treatment of drinking water and water for technical needs, chlorine compounds are used.
Catastrophic obsolescence of a complex of treatment facilities in the Central District of Togliatti.
Pollution in Otradnoye and Novokuybyshevsk by industrial enterprises.

Green is much more than a colour. It has come to symbolise our natural environment and the planet Earth and how important it is to safeguard them for our own benefit and that of future generations. Being green is living one’s life in a sustainable way and ensuring that our activities as individuals or a community reflect our planetary resource limits. By knowing which of your activities impact the environment the most you can then look to reduce that. It might be that you are using a car which emits a high level of pollutants. You could consider replacing it with a hybrid car which will also help you cut fuel costs. Similarly, opt for products that do not emit any toxic substances into our environment. A lot of personal care products such as creams, shampoos and scrubs or other household items such as soaps, cleaning products and detergents contain chemical substances that upset the balance of ecosystems. While we use these products in our homes, they often end up in the water system and from there into aquatic environments.]]> 2019-11-02 17:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/405766087 What's this mean "to be green"? malyshevad14 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/405768087 It means: "Environmentally friendly" !!!

As a result of increasing emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, chemical pollution of soil, groundwater and surface water, there is an aggravation of environmental problems of the Samara region.

The main sources of these phenomena are more than 650 industrial enterprises, including plants of chemical, energy, petrochemical industry, capacity for the production of mineral fertilizers, gas industry, engineering, etc.

Water fund

The water Fund of the Samara region is characterized by the following factors: the amount of precipitation, surface and underground flows.
With the active growth of production capacity, an increase in water consumption is an indispensable condition.Analysis of environmental problems in the Samara region suggests that environmental pollution remains at a high level. First of all, this is facilitated by petrochemical, energy, machine-building enterprises

Atmosphere
A large number of environmental problems in Samara and the region are associated with increased air pollution, annually 600 thousand tons of harmful elements are emitted into the atmosphere. In Samara, the air pollution index is higher by 43% than the average in Russia.
The Kirov district is considered to be the most unfavorable in terms of air, Zubchaninovka is characterized by an increased content of hydrogen chloride in the air, the most satisfactory environmental situation in the Krasnoglinsky district.
Despite the fact that industrial enterprises use in their work more than 5.2 thousand units for cleaning exhaust gases, for reasons of physical wear, obsolescence, the level of pollution is slightly reduced or remains at the same level.

On the territory of Samara there are 105 large industrial enterprises, which daily emit tens of tons of harmful elements into the air, most of them are in close proximity to residential areas. The three leaders among the air pollutants of industrial enterprises: OJSC "KNPZ", OJSC "Metallist-Samara", JSC "SPAN".

Production waste, MSW

Every year, the Samara region accumulates on its territory up to 500 thousand tons of industrial waste, of which only a third is reused. About 12% of the used waste is processed into cement, a small part of oil sludge is further processed at oil refineries.

Millions of tons of unused waste remain withdrawn from economic circulation, irretrievably lost and not finding use in production. So, to date, more than 66 million tons of various wastes have accumulated in the region.
To make Samara cleaner, we have collected a list of all the points of reception of recycled materials in the city and region:

Reception of waste paper in Samara;
Reception of scrap metal in Samara;
Garbage collection in Samara;
To hand over glass containers in Samara.
They are concentrated in dumps, dumps as a result of flooding by groundwater or precipitation, are sources that pollute the air, water and soil.

On the agenda is often the issue of disposal of solid waste, which is replenished annually in the amount of 3.5 million m3. In connection with the urgent need for landfills alienated more than 360 hectares of land suitable for cultivation.
In Samara and the region, not all environmental problems have been adequately solved, but small improvements are already noticeable: over the past few years, several landfills have been built and operated, where conditions are provided for the disposal of toxic industrial waste at JSC "Sintezspirt", JSC "NovoKuibyshev refinery", as well as a plant for processing solid waste in Togliatti.

Chapaevsky landfill has already begun the process of acceptance of solid waste, near it has already been under construction of a specialized site where industrial waste will be placed.

1 The problem of degradation of small and medium rivers. A separate problem is the degradation of the former Volga, which has long been not a river, but a reservoir. The reason for this is a whole range of problems. This also adds the discharge of a large amount of pollutants from the surface runoff, without purification and the widespread use of phosphorus-containing detergents, which lead to the "bloom" of water.
2 Chemical air pollution in Togliatti. This is due to an inadequate level of environmental control and the effectiveness of treatment facilities, primarily of the enterprises of the Northern Industrial Plant. Togliatti can still not be compared in terms of air pollution with such cities as Chelyabinsk, Tagil and Krasnoyarsk. It is much dirtier and more complicated. But this does not mean that if it is worse there, then everything is fine in Togliatti. The problem of air pollution in the city exists, and it must be addressed. I repeat: in Togliatti, pollution occurs due to chemical enterprises, and not only large ones. We usually forget about small and medium enterprises, which also pollute the environment. Most of the air pollution is provided by motor vehicles, not industrial enterprises, but the peculiarity of industrial enterprises is in the consolidation of emissions. That is, in one place a large amount of pollutants is immediately released, and in addition, they, these substances, are specific in composition.
3 The problem of the Togliatti forest, which was unique. On the fingers, you can count the cities of Russia would have a forest within the city and was one of the infrastructure of the city, in fact. The city is built around it. A well-known example is the forest in Akademgorodok in Novosibirsk, but there are very few such examples. Unfortunately, little remains of the Togliatti forest and there are constant attempts to develop forest territory under one pretext or another. What pretexts, we know perfectly.
4 The problem of water quality in the Avtozavodsky district of Togliatti. Water quality in the Volga is consistently poor. During the intake and water treatment of drinking water and water for technical needs, chlorine compounds are used. This is a serious problem and so far it has not been resolved.
5 Catastrophic obsolescence of a treatment plant complex in the Central region of Tolyatti. The new city and the WHA are provided with Vasilievsky treatment facilities, which are in more or less decent condition. But the treatment facilities of the Central region and Northern industrial area have long required modernization.
6 Pollution in Otradnoye and Novokuybyshevsk by industrial enterprises, such as the Remetall plant, which in the Samara region is considered one of the most malicious violators of environmental standards. However, the dirtiest city in the Samara region is still Novokuybyshevsk.

And if you seriously think about what needs to be done to preserve nature, remember, people, not knowing how dangerous batteries can be for health and the environment, just throw them in garbage cans, thereby harming both themselves and the environment.

1. Conserve Water
The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good. Got a leaky faucet? And stop drinking bottled water. Switch to filtered tap water. You'll save a ton of cash and help reduce a ton of plastic waste in the process.
2.Paper consumption
Every year we throw away millions of tons ofpaper. But there is an easy way to cut the expenses in half: double-sided printing or to write on both sides.
3. Walk, Bike or Take Public Transit
Walking and biking are obvious ways to reduce greenhouse gases. Plus you'll get some good cardio and burn some calories while you do it. If you live in an area that's not walkable, take advantage of your local mass transit if you can. . Even one car off on the road makes a difference.
4. Plant a one or two
One young tree can absorb CO2 at a rate of 5 kilograms per tree. And that's just an itty bitty baby tree. Once that tree reaches about 10 years old, it's at its most productive stage of carbon storage. Then it can absorb 21 kilograms of CO2 per year. Trees also remove all other kinds of junk from the air, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and small particles. So go ahead, plant a tree.
5. Give Up Plastics
Stop buying bottled water. Say no to plastic shopping bags and use cloth bags instead. Don't use plastic straws. Drink from a reuseable cup instead of a plastic one. Avoiding plastic can divert a ton of waste from the oceans and landfill.]]> 2019-11-04 18:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/406422468 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408958309 Егор

Denforestation is a big problem all over the world; this problem has not bypassed the Samara region. Unfortunately, like other forests, this active forest is cut down. Unfortunately, not only people are the reason for the decrease in forest area. One of the few unique forests is the forest near the city of Togliatti. A similar attitude to nature on the part of manufacturers who want to build their buildings on this site is a big problem for the Samara region in particular. The fires of 2010 is an example of how nature itself can destroy itself. since this year we have restored most of the area of burned forests. The inhabitants of this city are against the deforestation and are actively fighting for its conservation.]]> 2019-11-09 04:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408958309 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408973939 What can i do for my planet?

Environment troubles is very actually now. People cut down hectars of forest. I think, we need to start plant trees, reduce usage stuffs, find another ways to make usefull stuffs. I can buy any seed, and plant it in earth. Then, i can help to ecologist, help them to find places to grow up forests, feed animals.
I can collect trash and throw it to reduce centers.
We can make lessons about environment, how it important, to help our nature.
We need to ask adults for help, city organization.
We need protect our environment!

DANIIL0987 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408975575 Water resources management About 97.5% of the world's water is salty. The rest is fresh, most of which is locked in the ice. Only 0.3% is available for use. Water scarcity has already affected the lives of 1.2 billion people on all continents. Another 1.6 billion are experiencing difficulties due to the problems of water production and transportation. These figures are rising, not least because demand for water is increasing at twice the rate of the population, leading to long-term shortages.Now people have developed billions. Not only does nature have to feed everyone, so everyone else wants a home, a car and a bunch of things. For this purpose plants are built, mines work, and oil is pumped from the subsoil of the earth, although it is possible to use energy of water, sun, wind. Smoke and other emissions from production enter the atmosphere, soil and water. Man consumes all the resources of the planet, and they are exhausted.

Another man wants to dispose of animals like he created them. He even sometimes kills them just for fun, not food.

Only now have humans been engulfed: animals and plants are dying out, and global warming threatens to drown our entire civilization in the oceans.

Now everyone knows that the planet needs to be taken care of, that it needs to be protected. Only a lot of people think: let the state do it. Or let others try.

But scientists say the planet can only be saved together. Taking care of her is the business of every person and the business of every day. It starts small. It 's to turn off the lights when you don 't need them. Twist the tap so there 's no water for nothing. It 's a solar battery on the roof of the house and an electric motor machine.

I love Earth and I want to I want to keep her safe.

Saving the planet sounds huge doesn’t it? And in essence, it is. But there are many simple ways you can do your bit to help.

1.Recycling is Important
Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.
The amount of rubbish we create is constantly increasing because:

Increasing wealth means that people are buying more products and ultimately creating more waste.
Increasing population means that there are more people on the planet to create waste.
New packaging and technological products are being developed, much of these products contain materials that are not biodegradable.
New lifestyle changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste that isn’t biodegradable.

Importance to people.

Recycling is essential to cities around the world and to the people living in them.

No space for waste. Our landfill sites are filling up fast, by 2010, almost all landfills in the UK will be full.
Reduce financial expenditure in the economy. Making products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.
Preserve natural resources for future generations. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials; it also uses less energy, therefore preserving natural resources for the future.

I think that we have to keep our planet. we should not be selfish and think about all the living species on the earth. We should save our earth and environment by reducing the amount of wastes, plastic, paper, woods, etc. we should make the habit of reuse and recycle things (clothes, toys, furniture, books, papers, etc) in order to generate less waste. We should stop all the bad practices involved in increasing the level of pollution and global warming.

There are different kinds of environmental pollution: air pollution, water pollution, land pollution. Sadly, not all human beings realize or admit that we are the ones who cause these problems and we should be the first to stop them and protect our environment. Because of the industrial revolution the air is polluted with awful chemicals; seas and oceans are poisoned with oil spills. Many rare species of flora and fauna are threatened with extinction.

We should be proud to live on our wonderful planet and understand that the consequences of pollution might be terrible and affect us and our children later. We should start recycling things made of glass, paper, plastic and aluminium. We should stop smoking and plant as many trees as we can because they can give us more oxygen. We need to drive less and use public transport in order to reduce fuel burning. We are responsible for the situation.

I think, Nowadays, the place we live is in great danger. There are a lot of things, which affect the Earth. Factories waste and exhaust gases, deforestation, poisoning of the air and water pollution, destruction of the ozone layer and global warming – these are the problems which a modern human should face.

Disposal of batteries.

With the daily bad news about global warming, oceans dying and dying animals, it's hard to figure out where to start. You might think that one person can do little, but in fact there are so many ways to help our planet. Refusal of disposable tableware

Disposable plates, glasses, forks and spoons have gained great popularity. They are light, do not fight, they do not need to be washed. But such dishes are made of plastic, which has been decomposing for centuries, all this time polluting the nature. In addition, it is often dangerous to health. The material from which these products are made becomes toxic when heated or in contact with alcohol, spicy and fatty foods. Save paper

Deforestation on Earth reaches catastrophic proportions. You can help save at least one tree if you take care of paper.

Try less often to print documents on the printer. Use digital storage media. Pay utility bills and bank bills online. So you save paper forms. Recycle paper and cardboard. Reduce food waste

Environmentalists note that about a third of manufactured products are thrown away. Food waste, when decomposed in landfills, produces methane. This gas not only poisons the Earth’s atmosphere, but is also guilty of negative climate changes.

Try to plan your purchases. Do not take more food than you can eat. Cook sparingly with the right amount of servings. I believe that in order to help our planet, you need to plant trees, not pollute water bodies, recycle waste, create more environmental groups]]> 2019-11-09 09:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408976966 What can I do for our planet? simakov_sasha_7 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408977282 We are the first generation to know we’re destroying the world, and we could be the last that can do anything about it. Speaking up is one of the most powerful things you can do especially if it’s to the right people. Talk to your MP. Tell them to commit to action to protect our natural world.

Contact the brands you buy from and get them to tell you how their products are sourced. Use social media – this is one of the most effective ways to get brands to listen to you, so tell them that you want a change.

It’s not just about speaking to the people in charge. Talk to your friends, neighbours and colleagues and get them.

Valerik https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408977630 The region we live in - Samara, is best known as industrial region with many factories. As good, as it may sound, it really causes a lot of environmental problems, such as: forest wildfire, air and water pollution, and much more. But, regardless, I'm not the type of man, who could tell you about environmental influences from factories, so instead, I'll give you statistic from proffesionals, about environmental changes in Samara, that happened in the previous century. The process of leading industrial centers development in the second half of the XXth century has rather complex
and inconsistent character. These decades take an important place in the economic development of the considered regions. Statistical comparisons testify that for a long time the rates of their industrial growth
significantly advanced all-union ones, especially in the period of the VIII-X Five-Year-Plans (1966-1980).
Summary indicators of industrial production growth in Samara region and the Republic of Tatarstan for the
1960-1990s are significant; they are 703% and 671% respectively.
Prerequisites of huge industrial breakthrough during the considered period were established in the years of
Soviet industrialization, and they were strengthened by considerable structural changes during the military
period. In 1941-1945 in the Tatar Republic and Kuibyshev area there appeared a number of new industrial
branches some of which were based on more than 150 evacuated enterprises that determined the main directions
of further industrial development in Middle Volga region. Fast repurpose and adaptation of industrial production
to the conditions of the peace time accompanied with restoration, reconstruction of old and construction of new
industrial enterprises become the most important task of post-war economy recovery in the region.
Developed industrial basis with the subsequent attraction of large financial, material, human resources allowed
to create leading industrial centers of the Russian Federation in the second half of the XXth century. The
powerful production potential focused originally on the extraction and processing of natural resources promoted
the development and expansion of other industries. At the same time, during practical implementation of
economic plans at the specified period there were brought out some disadvantages of an economic mechanism
operating at that time, the inefficiency of the super-centralized economy. Objective economic and technical
evaluation did not dominate; departmental dissociation, failures in the implementation of planned decisions
involved their non-performance and falsification.]]> 2019-11-09 09:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408977630 polinakulemina96 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408977864 What can I do for our planet.

1. Use Energy Efficient Lightbulbs💡
Energy efficient lightbulbs are a simple way to reduce the amount of power you use.
2.Always Recycle Glass⌛
Did you know that un recycled glass can take up to a million years to decompose? Always make sure to recycle your glass.
3. Re-Think Your Water Consumption🍼

Bottled water is handy when you’re on the go, but why not buy one bottle and then refill it from the tap or your work’s water cooler. Around 90% of water bottles end up decomposing in landfills rather than being recycled
4. Recycle Your Cell Phone📱

With the average consumer replacing their cell phones every eighteen months, 130 million cell phones are being disposed of each year. If these go into landfill sites, the toxins from the cell battery leak into the soil and pollute the ground. Use a recycling programme. An added bonus to this is many of these programmes contribute to charities.
5. Don’t Use Plastic Carrier Bags🛍️

Plastic carrier bags are not biodegradable, nor are they recyclable. They sit in landfills where they often end up polluting the ocean and infiltrating food sources. Use a stronger, reusable bag.
6. Use Rechargeable Batteries🔋

It’s no secret that the corrosive acid in throw away batteries is extremely damaging to soil when they end up in landfills. Although the recharging unit is initially an unexpected expense, long term, this will save you money. And you’ll never find yourself short of a battery when you need one!
7. Share The Knowledge ! 🗺️

Often, when people are damaging the environment, it is because they don’t have the facts, or haven’t considered a particular course of action. Share this list with your friends – if each of them takes on board just one point, the effect could be immense. And if they share it on too, think of the mass chain reaction. Let’s work together to make the world a better place.
My opinion: I believe, that people should rally to solve environmental problems. Only together can we make the world cleaner and better. In each city there is an organization that is engaged in the disposal of batteries, sorting of plastic, and landscaping of the city.

>> I think this is an important issue. We need to defend our planet against pollution!

[ note! ] - simple things you can do to help protect the earth.

1. Reduce waste. The smaller the mess, the cleaner.

2. Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.

3. Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.

4. Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.

5. Eat less meat. You don’t have to give up meat for life, but try to commit to one meat free day a week. [ interesting fact! ] It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a single pound of beef. And each hamburger that comes from animals on ex-forestry ground is responsible for the destruction of fifty-five square feet of forest.

6. Garden Manually. Try to avoid using a hose pipe – use a watering can instead to concentrate on the areas you need watering.

7. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in the recycling bin. It really does make a difference. Paper, too. [ Case in point! ] If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars off the road

🌱🌱🌱

The Earth is the place where we live,it is our home and the task is to protect it and appreciate all it gives to us. If the humanity change nothing in a thousand of years our planet will not exist. We should start doing something and give a chance to next generations to live in a peaceful and beautiful home!

Actually, when people make a decision to go green, they're expected to make more environmentally friendly decisions. They need to adhere to the policy of "reduce, reuse and recycle".

There're several grounds for going green:

It's known that our planet suffers from human actions. We, humans, dump industrial waste into rivers and seas, pollute the atmosphere and rarely recycle cans nor bottles. Thus, our negligence leads to having a detrimental effect on the planet. Some day the Earth might become a very unpleasant place to live.

What can you do to minimize the amount of pollution and live an environmentally responsible life?

1. Firstly, you can start walking or riding to work or shops instead of driving. Cars are the most significant source of many air pollutants.

2. Save energy! You can turn off the television set and make sure you flick the light switch when you leave the room.

3. Use environmentally friendly products. Don't buy any one-use plastic bottles or bags. Invest in reusable goods.

4. You can also recycle paper, plastic bags, cans or even batteries.

These small changes make a huge difference! I truly believe that many a little makes a mickle!

DANIIL0987 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408978474 Global warming. Climate change around the world is caused by human activity: coal-fired power plants and factories, cars, agricultural enterprises annually emit almost 22 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and about half of them remain there. The result is a so-called greenhouse effect. According to the observations of scientists, the average air temperature since the beginning of the twentieth century increased by about 0.74°C[1]. Moreover, the increased growth begins after 1980, and each of the following decades becomes warmer than the previous one. For example, the temperature of permafrost soils in Western Siberia has increased by 1°C since the early 1970s, and by 3°C in Northern Alaska[2]. Global warming leads to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, increasing the frequency of floods, droughts and so on. According to forecasts, further deterioration of the situation may lead to a sharp jump in the climate and the onset of a new ice age.Forest cutting. Forests are natural sources of oxygen and help regulate temperature and rainfall. Unfortunately, predatory deforestation across the planet leads to serious climate disturbances. In addition, the forest is the habitat of many species of animals, most of which can not adapt to other conditions. Everyone knows the story of a funny Panda bear, which due to the cutting down of bamboo in China, its main food, was on the verge of extinction, and only thanks to huge efforts this process was stopped. The deforestation of the Amazon basin, which is called the "lungs of the planet", also leads to serious problems, not only regional ones. Even with controlled deforestation, carbon dioxide uptake will drop from 145 tons per hectare to 105-115 tons by 2050. And if logging becomes uncontrolled, this figure will fall to 64-74 tons per hectare[4]. This is not a complete list of the problems that humanity faces and will face in the future. We are threatened with overpopulation, pollution of water, soil and air, ocean oxidation, depletion of the subsoil — and all this because of our carelessness and confidence that nature will endure everything. What is humanity doing to preserve nature But is it really that bad? Is humanity not aware of the problem and does not try to take at least some steps to solve it? Of course he does. Of course he's trying. At the global level, there is even a UN environment programme — UNEP, established on the basis of a resolution of the UN General Assembly back in 1972. But, despite its existence, not all countries are aware of the need to actively protect the environment. And the less developed the country, the less attention it pays to this problem. Perhaps this is due to the low standard of living of the population, the raw material orientation of the economy, the lag in scientific and technical development. In Western countries, where the problem of hunger and poverty is no longer in the first place, there is an opportunity to seriously deal with environmental problems. And in States where people have the main task — to feed their children, poverty does not allow to carry out any serious environmental programs. One of the first, but very important steps in the conservation of wildlife can be a change in the usual way of life. Of course, it is difficult to imagine that a modern urban man suddenly left to protect the reserve in Siberia or plant forests in Kamchatka. Although, frankly, this also occurs. Help can be much easier-to join the supporters of the Fund. To do this, it is enough to make a donation on the website from 900 rubles per year. If this is too much for you, make a one-time donation via SMS of 500, 200 rubles — any money transferred to the WWF account will go to help the cause of wildlife conservation. The more supporters there are, the more large-scale projects the Fund will be able to implement!
In my opinion, in order to preserve nature, it is necessary to recycle garbage, use alternative energy sources, switch cars to electric engines and replace fuel.]]> 2019-11-09 09:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408978474 grigioshekki https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408980790 Samara belongs to major industrial cities. The main production emphasis is on mechanical engineering, metal processing, food processing, as well as space and aviation industries. There are about 400 large enterprises on the territory of the city, as well as about 4 thousand small producers. It is not wise that such a number of production provokes the deterioration of the environmental situation in the city.
Samara region occupies a leading position among other regions of Russia in the spread of some infectious diseases caused by parasites, due to the presence of unsanitary conditions in Samara markets and the low sanitary culture of the population as a whole.
In addition, hot weather encourages people to swim in water that is not intended for such purposes.
In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the incidence of tuberculosis and various respiratory diseases, as well as a significant increase in the formation of malignant tumors. Outbreaks of dysentery are occasional and are the result of poor drinking water consumption by the city 's population. Many factors of environmental disadvantage have a major impact on urban health.
The greening of the city and forest areas amount to about 3.5 meters square per resident. Such indicators do not meet the necessary standards. Average air pollution in Samara is 43% higher than the average for Russia.
The adequacy of water reserves in the Samara region is offset to a large extent by the problems of water supply to the population. These problems are based on the uneven distribution of water resources throughout the region, significant indicators of their temporal variability, as well as a high degree of water pollution.
Despite the fact that in environmental terms Samara and Samara region are among the most disadvantaged in the Russian Federation, the necessary measures are being taken to improve the environmental situation. It remains hoped they will bear fruit.]]> 2019-11-09 09:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/408980790 Environmental strategy. https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/409773513 In order to live in our common house, we must develop not only some general rules of conduct, if you like - rules of the hostel, but also a strategy of its development. The rules of the hostel are in most cases local. They are reduced most often to the development and introduction of low-waste industries, to the cleaning of the environment from pollution, that is, to the protection of Nature.

In order to meet these local requirements, there is no need for any super-large-scale activities: everything is solved by the culture of the population, technological and, mainly, environmental literacy and discipline of local officials.

But immediately we face more difficult situations when we have to think about the well-being not only of our own, but also of our distant neighbors. An example of this is a river crossing several areas. A lot of people are interested in its purity, and interested in very different ways. The inhabitants of the upper reaches are not very inclined to take care of the state of the river in its lower reaches. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal joint life of the population of the whole river basin, regulations are already required at the State and sometimes at the inter-State level.

The example with the river is also only a private case. After all, there are also problems of a planetary nature. They require a human strategy. There is little one culture and environmental education for its development. There is also little action by a competent (which is extremely rare) government. There is a need to create a human strategy. It should cover literally all aspects of people 's life. These are also new industrial technology systems that should be waste-free and resource-efficient. These are agricultural technologies as well. And not only better soil treatment and use of fertilizers. But, as the works of N. I. Babilov and other remarkable representatives of agronomic science and crop production show, here the main way of development is the use of plants with the greatest efficiency of solar energy use. That is, clean, non-polluting energy

Such a fundamental solution to agricultural problems is of particular importance, as they are directly related to a problem that I am convinced will inevitably have to be solved. This is about the size of the world 's population. Humanity is already faced with the need for strict regulation of fertility - in different parts of the Earth in different ways, but everywhere - restriction

In order for man to continue to fit into the natural cycles (round-robin) of the biosphere, the population of the planet, while maintaining modern needs, must be reduced once every ten. And that 's impossible! Regulation of population growth will certainly not lead to a tenfold reduction in the number of inhabitants of the planet. Therefore, along with smart demographic policy, it is necessary to create new biogeochemical cycles, that is, a new round-robin of substances, which will include primarily those species of plants that more effectively use clean solar energy, which does not cause environmental harm to the planet.

Solving problems of this magnitude is only available to humanity as a whole. This will require a change in the entire organization of the planetary community, in other words, a new civilization, a restructuring of the most important - those systems of values that have been approved for centuries.

The principle of the need to form a new civilization is declared by the International Green Cross, an organization whose establishment was proclaimed in 1993 in the Japanese city of Kyoto. The basic thesis - man must live in harmony with Nature.

We all know that plastic bags are terrible. They decompose for hundreds of years, clog communications, kill river and sea inhabitants. The production of plastic bags takes 4% of all oil produced.

As for paper bags, they are not an alternative to plastic, since their production contributes to global warming and massive unauthorized deforestation. So, in America, about 14 million trees leave for 10 billion paper bags. The issue of safe disposal also remains: the packages are buried with other garbage, and the lack of oxygen prevents the material from decomposing. When processing a kilogram of paper, it takes up 91% more electricity than in the case of plastic.]]> 2019-11-13 07:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/410411242 What's environmental condition of Samara Region? olofmeistersweden2016 https://padlet.com/kapotkinata/are_you_green/wish/412954348 Today Samara region is one of the cities with the most polluted atmospheric air. Air pollution by suspended substances over the territory of the city is greater by 43% than the average in Russia, and the concentration of other harmful substances exceeds the maximum permissible norms by dozens of times. This is the fault of industrial enterprises, many of which do not have sufficiently effective treatment facilities, as well as vehicles. Dust, which oversaturated the air of the city, clogged into the lungs and can serve as a carrier of various viral infections. The main source of dust is bad roads and some industrial production.
However, uncontrolled discharge of industrial effluents significantly affects the water quality of Samara. This fact is confirmed by regular studies of water samples, which contain a large number of harmful elements: heavy metal compounds, organochlorine pesticides, phenols.

Special attention should be paid to the negative impact on the water environment of enterprises (about 40%), energy (about 26%), petrochemical and chemical industries (over 13%), as well as agriculture (up to 8%).

In the Samara region there are 136 small rivers, the ecological state of which is also a concern.(Березовский Артем)
