The State Duma proposed to declare the shade "green of seedlings" as the color of the year in Russia: "The natural color of young trees can become the color of the year in Russia", reported the State Duma Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection. This color symbolizes successful afforestation, sustainable growth and turns our gaze to the future, the authors of the initiative added. In addition, it is very important to preserve the forest fund "in order to pass it on to future generations".
