Юг Московской области присоединился к «мусорному протесту» 2018-03-11 10:12 Активисты экологи сообщают о мероприятиях на юге области в поддержку протестующих против «мусорной политики» областного правительства жителей. Из Наро-Фоминского района активисты сообщают о задержании стражами порядка в поселке Селятино полутора десятков человек за протест против мусоросжигательного завода в Наро-Фоминске,. Сообщается, что люди стояли с одиночными пикетами вдоль Киевского шоссе. Официального подтверждения информация пока не получила. Экологи Серпухова, в свою очередь напомнили о полигонах «Лесная», «Павловка», «Жерновка» и «Съяново-1». Ситуация с «вывозом мусора» в регионе признана критической на уровне местных властей. Еще 7 ноября прошлого года глава района Александр Шестун обратился к председателю СК России Александру Бастрыкину и генеральному прокурору России Юрии Чайке с сообщением о преступлении. В нем отмечается, что в планах Минэкологии — увеличение мощности полигона на улице Лесная до 1 млн. тонн мусора. В этой ситуации планировать новую дорогу к свалке просто немыслимо. Как сообщил в своем письме в дирекцию дорожного строительства заместитель руководителя администрации Серпуховского района Данила Ильин, «увеличение транспортного потока, связанного с увеличением мощности полигона ТБО «Лесная», … повлечет увеличение количества автопоездов, груженных отходами… от 30000 до 50000» в год. В разы ухудшится экологическая ситуация, увеличатся выбросы в атмосферу загрязняющих веществ, поднимется уровень шума в ночное время. Региональным столоначальникам напоминается, что проект дороги должен пройти экологическую экспертизу и — «все стадии согласования проектной документации, в том числе и общественные обсуждения». На видео глава Серпуховского района Александр Шестун с активистами экологами проводит контрольный рейд на трассу ведущую к полигону ТБО «Лесная».

And it's kind of like I was near that area and now it’s all covered, so it’s like, am I safe in Salisbury? And I think that’s what is effecting businesses around here. People don’t feel safe and I know the shops down here, G&T and places like that, have really struggled, with Mother’s Day as well.” Following news that the nerve agent used on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal was found in a Zizzi's restaurant, Salisbury residents were warned to wash their clothes by authorities on Sunday.

They’ve got to be ultra-cautious.” However, Katy Sergeant, another local, said people should “carry on as normal”. Skripal and his 33-year-old daughter are in critical condition in Salisbury District Hospital after being found unconscious on a park bench last Sunday.

Coming in at a mere $25,000 (20,300 euros) per bunker, Vicino said you'd be 'crazy' not to buy one.
