New ecocenter. Responsible consumption is being developed in Russia

Environmental protection issues are always acute. And big business, like no one else, understands this. So, in Russia, a joint federal action of two large companies will start. Its name is “Keeping the Planet Together: The Five Green Cases”. Its initiators are the trading network “Pyaterochka” and the company Procter & amp; Gamble. Its goal is to make the path to responsible consumption in Russia even easier and more convenient. Part of the funds from the sales of the brand’s products in the amount of 3 million rubles will be used to create an ecocenter in one of the cities of Russia, which will be chosen by popular vote.

The ecocenter is scheduled to open in the fall. There will be a point for receiving and sorting various types of recyclable materials for further processing, and it will also become a space for holding events and festivals on ecotematics. To promote the opening of a modern eco-center in your city, you must purchase the product participating in the promotion at any supermarket in the network by July 31, 2021, and then vote on the promotion website. Thus, everyone will be able to contribute to the development of waste collection and recycling infrastructure in their city.

The ambassador of the environmental campaign “Save the Planet Together: Five green causes” was the singer Glucose, who shares the philosophy of responsible consumption and takes an active part in environmental forums and projects. She starred in a video in support of the action. As part of the campaign, special POSM materials with a QR code will also be placed in stores, where the consumer will learn how to make the shopping process in the store more eco-friendly.

“We came up with a great campaign with a very clear and, most importantly, simple message: every day, each of us can contribute to the preservation of the planet, and the path to responsible consumption is not as long as it may seem at first glance. I am sure that the issue of ecology and environmental protection concerns the majority of Russians. It’s just that not everyone understands that eco-friendly habits are easy. That is why we decided to help our customers a little: with advice, simple instructions and, of course, with our own example, ” comments the singer Glucose on the launch of the environmental campaign.

In addition, all participants of the promotion get a chance to win an electric scooter, and for the purchase of two products of the brand, you can get reusable bags for products in an exclusive design from Glucose.

“Pyaterochka” shows by its example how a business can take care of the environment. For example, for the production of baskets in new stores, we use recycled plastic, send for recycling the waste that is formed as a result of the daily activities of stores, and implement the “smart store” system, which reduces energy consumption in retail outlets. And of course, we strive to engage guests by creating moreopportunities for an eco-friendly lifestyle. So, in our mobile application, you can refuse to print a receipt, replacing it with an electronic one. We strive to create useful habits among Russians, encouraging them to perform simple actions for the benefit of the entire planet. Our joint action with P & amp; G is a contribution to the development of the infrastructure for separate waste collection, which is so important to develop especially in small cities, ” said Mikhail Yartsev, Marketing Director of the trade network.

Procter & Gamble has long been a leader in responsible consumption, working daily to ensure that our projects are a source of positive change. And we see how readily customers respond to our initiatives: for example, they hand over plastic for recycling and choose more environmentally friendly products. Society is becoming more and more aware, realizing that the future of the planet depends entirely on how we live.we behave today. Of course, we, as business representatives, have a huge responsibility for the environment, but it is impossible to do without the support of consumers in this matter. The joint campaign with Pyaterochka is our call to join forces for the well-being of future generations, ” emphasizes Ruslan Nozdryakov, Senior Director for Corporate Communications and Brand Sustainability in Eastern Europe.

Garden of memory of scientists. The action was held in the Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow

The ecological and patriotic action “Garden of Memory” was held in the Botanical Garden in Moscow. It was dedicated to the scientists who worked during the Second World War to bring victory closer. The memorial trees were planted by representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and the Knowledge Corporation of Rosatom, academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, young scientists from the nuclear industry and Victory Volunteers.

The first Garden in memory of Scientists, celebrating the contribution of Soviet and Russian researchers, appeared on the territory of the Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences named after N. V. Tsitsin, one of the largest in Europe. Founded in 1945, the Botanical Garden itself has become a symbol of Victory. Here they remembered the “fighters of the invisible front”, to whom they dedicated “green monuments” in the form of apple trees and hydrangeas.

Representatives of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and Rosatom, academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and young scientists from the nuclear industry gathered at one site. Each tree was dedicated to scientific directions, achievements of Soviet and Russian scientists, and specific heroes from science. The significance of this event for modern scientists as the successors of that generation, as well as for the implementation of the Year of Science and Technology, was noted by the Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Elena Druzhinina.

“We all understand that without the past, there is no future. And it is necessary to remember the people who won the Great Victory. Today, taking part in the action “Garden of Memory”, I remembered a worthy person with whom I was familiar, ” said Elena Druzhinina. & mdash; His name was Babkin George Sergeyevich. He was a front-line intelligence officer, and in the post-war years devoted his life to science. An inquisitive scientist, Georgy Sergeyevich created the Faculty of Romano-Germanic Philology at Tyumen State University. And he chose the patriotic education of young people as his life mission. You can’t forget such great people.”

“Perpetuating the memory of the heroism and selfless work of scientists is our responsibility. The next generations should understand how much people gave for the Victory and independence of our country. If you look at the statistics of the volunteers who went to the front in the first days of the war, you can see that among them there were a lot of representatives of the scientific intelligentsia, while only one third of them returned from the front. Today we remember the patriotism of scientists, including Caesar Kunikov, who, as you know, was the commander of the legendary landing on Malaya Zemlya. This is AndrewBochvar, who developed many alloys used in military equipment, Boris Paton, the creator of armor welding technology, and many others. We must remember their labor feat. I really hope that the young trees that we planted will grow beautifully and turn into a blooming garden for the sake of future generations, recalling the days of war and the greatness of our people, “said the first Deputy General Director of JSC “Science and Innovation”, Doctor of Technical Sciences Alexey Dubov.

When will the heat wave subside in Moscow?

Last weekend, on June 19 and 20, the heat wave came to Central Russia and Moscow. The thermometer columns in the afternoon rose above +30°. Meteorologists predict a series of temperature records and abnormal heat in the week from 21 to 27 June. The weather in Moscow will correspond to the normal climate of Cairo in June, according to the website of the weather center “Phobos”.

What records are we talking about?

In the coming week in European Russia is expected to “African heat” and drought: the temperature will rise to abnormal values, and there will be no rain, warn in “Phobos”. The temperature background will exceed the norm in June (in Moscow – +17;) at 13-15 degrees. In this regard, the region will have an orange level of weather danger.

Heat records will be set almost daily in central Russia. These are air temperatures that have never been recorded on similar days before in the entire more than a century-old history of meteorological observations. In Moscow, the number of such records can reach five or six. In addition, it is likely that the capital will have an absolute maximum average temperature of all of June. The previous record,+34.7, was set back in 1901.

Two records of the maximum temperature have already been set over the weekend in St. Petersburg, said the head of the prognostic center “Meteo” Alexander Shuvalov in an interview with RT. During the week, highs are expected in the central part of Russia from Veliky Novgorod to Nizhny Novgorod. More than 100 temperature records are predicted for the territory from Vologda in the north to Orel, Kursk, Shuvalov said.

What caused the heat wave in Central Russia?

The reason for the drought and heat in European Russia was a blocking anticyclone that was established over the Russian plain (extending from the Urals to the shores of the Black, Caspian, Azov, White and Baltic Seas, & ndash; approx. АиФ.ги), & ndash; said RIA Novosti scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center Roman Vilfand.

“A stationary anticyclone is established, and air masses saturated with moisture run along its periphery, but they do not get close to the center,” the meteorologist explained.

This is why it is called a blocking anticyclone.

When will the heat subside?

The air will continue to warm up until Thursday, June 24, and will reach +34 & hellip;+36°, said Vilfand. Then the anticyclone will shift, and the Central Federal District will be in its warm part. On Friday, June 25, clouds will appear in the sky. But still, until Saturday, June 26, inclusive, the week will be quite hot: +29 & hellip;+34 & deg;.

In “Phobos” also report that only by the weekend over the center of Russia will form clouds and slightly refresh the air in the afternoon to +29 “+ 34”. At night, the thermometer will show values that are typical for the daytime climate.:+20 or slightly higher. 

Finally, the abnormal heat will subside only in the last week of June (June 28-30). Daytime temperatures will drop to +24…+29 & deg;, and breathing will become much easier.

According to Shuvalov’s forecast, short-term rains may pass by the weekend. As a result, the capital will get rid of the 35-degree heat.

What will the weather be like in Moscow in the next five days?

According to the forecast of “Phobos”, this week in Moscow will be low-cloud and calm weather. On Monday, June 21, the forecast is +31 & hellip;+33 & deg;, on Tuesday, June 22,– +33…+35 & deg;. From Wednesday to Friday, June 23-25, the air in the afternoon will warm up to +34 & hellip;+36°. Night temperatures on weekdays will be +21…+24 & deg;.

What is the penalty for buying real vaccination certificates without vaccination?

Some Telegram chats sell illegal services and, as it turned out, among them there is the preparation of quite official certificates of vaccination. АиФ.ги I figured out how such a document differs from a fake one and what threatens the performers of the illegal service and their clients.

What are the “real” but illegal certificates?

If the usual forgery does not pass the check on the Unified Portal of Public Services and Functions (EPSU), then these certificates are of a different level-they are prepared by the doctors themselves and enter information about the alleged vaccination in a special state register (i.e. such documents are checked).

How the service is organized, the correspondent of the Telegram channel Baza found out, having made a “virtual” vaccination. It costs from 10 to 20 thousand rubles. The entire registration process is identical to the official one, with the exception of the injection itself-the ampoule with the vaccine is simply thrown out. To receive the certificate, the client must provide passport data and the SNILS number, as well as have a confirmed account on Public Services, in which they will create a “diary of observations”.

What motivates citizens to apply for such a service?

In Russia, the rate of vaccination is quite low. According to open sources, the proportion of vaccinated people in the country does not exceed 10%. At the same time, in many countries, this figure has already exceeded 20% -30%.

For this reason, some regions of Russia are considering the introduction of mandatory vaccination. Distrustful citizens are afraid of this prospect, some do not want to get vaccinated. In addition, to speed up the pace of vaccination and motivate Russians, the authorities organized sweepstakes with solid prizes. So, for example, in Moscow, among the vaccinated, a car will be played.

All this pushes those who are absolutely not ready to get vaccinated, to look for alternative ways and buy fictitious certificates.

What kind of punishment can follow for issuing an illegal certificate?

Despite the fact that the document is prepared by doctors according to all the rules, this is a serious offense-both on the part of the contractor and on the part of the customer, he explained АиФ.ги Lawyer of the Center for Medical Law Andrey Karpenko. As in the case of the usual fake certificate, here we are talking about forgery of the document, because the vaccination is not done in the end.

“There is intent on both sides, both the doctor and the patient, who understands perfectly well that he will not be given the vaccine, but the certificate will be issued. Here you can pick up three or four elements of an offense, ” the expert noted.

According to Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, “Forgery, production or circulation of forged documents, state awards, stamps, seals or letterheads”, performers can be put in prison or imposed forced labor for up to two years.

Customers for the use of fakes can be fined up to 80 thousand rubles or in the amount of their income for six months, as well as arrested for up to six months or assigned mandatory work (up to 480 hours) or correctional labor (up to two years).

In addition, the owners of such fictitious documents endanger the lives of many people, explains Karpenko. They still remain a potential source of infection, although according to the certificate they should not. The creation of a certificate and its possession falls under Article 236 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules”.

What is the threat under the article on violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules?

Here we are talking about provoking a mass disease or poisoning of people through negligence, as well as creating such a threat. For this, they are fined 500-700 thousand rubles, may be deprived of the right to hold a certain position for two or three years, or put (sent to work) for up to two years.

At the same time, if the violation leads to someone’s death, the punishment will be even stricter. This is, for example, if the owner of a fake certificate infects someone with a coronavirus, and they die from complications. In this case, the fine will increase to one to two million rubles (or in the amount of income for one to three years), and the prison term or forced labor will increase to three to five years.

The mitigating factor that the customer of the certificate did not assume someone’s death will not release him from responsibility.

Do the authorities fight the black market of certificates and can they detect forgeries?

The authorities are already aware of illegal sales of these certificates. The head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, Alexander Khinshtein, sent a letter to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to monitor checks on the provision of such illegal services and take measures.

As Andrey Karpenko notes, the services may well calculate the violators.

In Moscow, due to the heat, an orange level of danger was declared

The agency’s website notes that in such weather conditions, “there is a possibility of natural disasters, damage”.

According to the forecast, the air will warm up to plus 33 degrees. The leading employee of the weather center “Phobos” Alexander Sinenkov suggests that this way the temperature record for this day, dated 1956, will be broken. This specialist said in an interview with RIA Novosti. According to the weather forecaster, in the capital on Monday, plus 31-33, in the Moscow region – plus 29-34. The record heat on this day was observed in 1956, when the thermometer rose to 31.1 degrees.

The forecaster added that until the evening it will be cloudy, without precipitation, the wind is southern, 1-6 meters per second. The atmospheric pressure is about 752 millimeters of mercury, which is higher than normal.

Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor recommended to reduce the working day in hot weather conditions. When the air temperature is above 30.5 degrees, the working time should be reduced to four hours, experts say. They also reminded about the need to drink enough water on hot days and eat more vegetables and fruits.
