In this video, Irina explained why it is important to achieve balance and ensure that environmental and economic well-being coexist together:
Are we really the generation that has learned only to close, break and destroy something? The closure of the plant is creating dozens of new problems.
Stopping production does not mean reducing the environmental damage accumulated over the entire period of the company's existence.
All companies leave behind industrial sites, which can be a source of additional pollution.
When the plant is closed, the socio-economic development of the region suffers greatly. After all, people who work in this area will be forced to look for a new job.
Instead of drastic measures, we need to engage in systematic work. These are the introduction of closed cycles, new cleaning technologies, strict emission control, and the promotion of green investments.
