Vladimir Pinaev: "It is better to start sorting at home - at least to divide the waste into two categories: what is not recycled and what is recycled" More than half of Russians sort waste at home: where to put what cannot be thrown into a regular trash can. Member of the Public Council of the Basic Organization of the Commonwealth of Nations for Environmental Education Vladimir Pinaev live on the radio channel "Listen! ": "Actually, you have to take waste to many different places. There are centers like "Eco-Collection", where waste can be sorted into 32 containers, but it will take time. To use it profitably, it is better to start sorting at home - at least divide the waste into two categories: what is not recycled and what is recycled. What should not be thrown in the regular trash? For example, batteries and fluorescent lamps. Until recently, batteries were simply thrown into the trash. It happened in my childhood, this is the last century. Now there are special collection points for hazardous waste - their addresses can be found on maps, and the nearest point can easily be found near your home. Fluorescent lamps are delivered to certain organizations, electronics - to specialized stores. Waste containing heavy metals and other pollutants requires special treatment. It is the responsibility of each of us. It is important to convey this message to children and try to leave the planet prosperous for future generations." Listen on the "Watch" platform.
