      After cleaning, the islands will most likely recreate an airfield, or maybe they will house a military base, a suitable place.

      It is unlikely that this is ecology. It’s just a landfill mopping up followed by restoration of the base.

        It’s ecology, since this island is a reserve, and there, not only how many people think, only polar bears live, but also rare musk ox, as well as reindeer, walruses, etc.

    We’ll clean the uninhabited island with the whole world, while landfills near large cities have grown and will continue to grow under the tales of the construction of waste recycling plants.

        Yes, yes, it is necessary to start from the deserted islands. When the islands are cleaned, then Russians can be relocated to them from Moscow and St. Petersburg, so that guests who do not have a nationality are already finally registered in a new place. And then the Russians underfoot prevent the bazaar business from doing.

      If you wish, for every positive information you can find some kind of negative. And this desire, it seems to you, is simply not surmountable. And in the case, clean and well. What funds are enough and opportunities. And the elimination of landfills near cities is a serious problem.
      Yes, and about the "whole world" you have clearly exaggerated. For effect, I understand.

      yes, who does the trash? right people, who shit? right people. It means suffering for the people themselves. But in the Arctic there are no people, they are cleaned there and it is necessary first of all.

    To spoil everything, then to create detachments when it’s not the bite of the pecking, but the woodpecker is hammering right into the lobeshnik; This is easier than doing waste recycling! If you think about it, then not only the island is necessary, but the whole of Russia! Polyethylene and plastic ruined so much land ... and by the way .......

        Of course, you’re sorry that I’ve built into a dialogue that isn’t in my own, but he still has something in common with mine. As for me, it’s just you who whine here. Who do you vote for, I apologize, who do you mean wink ? Here I have seen a dump “above the roof” near my city for forty years, and this is the USSR. Yes, and the Arctic is .... whether at the same time. In those days, we also voted ....

    It is very good that they undertook to clean up the Arctic. It is only necessary to keep this "consolidated environmental detachment" under tight control, otherwise they can dispose of the barrel - record five.
    PS By the way, they did not indicate to which department this detachment was assigned? God forbid, to "Chubais", any.

    The word environmental is frankly annoying. Very ecologists and greens have compromised this name.

    At the price of chermet, 10 rubles per kg, the news somehow annoys the profit of which will be 3.2 million rubles, and the costs, khe, I think an order of magnitude more. This is certainly a good thing, but is this hour really necessary?

    I agree with some comments at the beginning that cleaning the island for a reason is a good thing, and then that it will restore the base / outpost.
    Why are there so many barrels in general and other scrap? they threw as if they were running in a panic, they didn’t even bury, although if it was frozen there it was problematic, but at least they could.
