Environmental protection

Our civilization has gone so far in its development and polluted the environment that is why the topic of environmental protection is very actual today. Protection of the environment in Ukraine is paid much attention to.

• Ukraine is suffering many environmental problems. Many of them have been caused by economic activities. • One of them is water pollution.

• Another problem is air pollution. For example, pumping waste gases from a power station or metallurgical plants do not get rid of them. • The waste gases cause acid rains.

• The next ecological problem is the problem of the Sea of Azov. The Sea of Azov is the special case. Because it is such a small sea, it becomes dirty very easily.

• One of the most serious environmental problems in Ukraine today is the problem of recovery and recycling of various wastes. • The country has about 800 official landfills, the total amount of debris of which exceeded 35 billion tons.

• Today Ukrainians are aware that for our country it is necessary to establish a sustainable model of environmental behavior.

Non-governmental public organizations and funds, which act according to current legislation, form the basis of the environmental protection movement in Ukraine.

• The top priority task of those organizations is to draw society’s attention to issues of protection of the environment with the help of various events: expositions, protest actions, conferences, and information campaigns.

Today, the public environmental protection movement in Ukraine has become consolidated and more professional. Its organizations cooperate with state bodies to reach a certain goal in protecting the environment.

Thank you for attention!
