River cleaning campaign

Household waste selection is the major one.

River cleaning campaign

Is sorting of waste required? Yes, at Muncipality Level, since about 1990: still regularily accompanied by newsletters on what's to sort and a advisory group, to help people doing right

Are subsidies granted for the development of household mini-power plants based on renewable energy sources, for example for photovoltaic panel installations? Not at municipality level, but at provincal or state Level

Do people have the opportunity to run home gardens where they cultivate organic crops? Yes or your private estate; not on municipal ground.

Are there paper packaging in the surrounding stores besides plastic packaging? Yes!

Are unmerged flower meadows maintained on housing estates and parks? Yes!

Are there houses for insects and birds in nearby parks? Yes!

What other pro-ecological activities, ventures are carried out in the region where you live? Development of a biking roadnet; Bioenergy plant for heating central parts of (cumunal and private) buildings in a village; ...

Community mobilisation and setting up community based conservation associations.

in my place mainly concentrate on rain water storage in ponds or lakes to face feature demand of water

Promoting environmental-friendly transport system. Zero waste management strategies; waste minimization, source separation and recycling

Our work focuses on increasing carbon capture on working landscapes, focusing on planning and implementation of climate-beneficial conservation practices on farms across California.

Unfortunately whatever work is being done is very scattered and not enough.

Azra is correct, of course, which is why we must continue to build networks of like-minded people and expand our efforts.

Moscow has launched the municiple wastes sorting, greening is active, traffic regulation, active ecologicall monitoring, public involvement monit,

I understand that it is necessary to classify the waste, but more importantly and in a first order, it is not to generate them or to generate as little waste as possible. Some strategies, the edible animals, marine animals, creatures or natural birds of the environment.

Some proposals for my region (Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), you can read in our article that I share next.

Chapter Contributions to Inclusive Economic Growth in Argentina: Int...

In Santiago of Chile there is some research projects about renewable energy sources, in particular de solar energy. Since here, specially in the north regions, there is huge solar potential. In adittion, a few municipalities had implemented waste sort centers.

In view of the above, on the basis of the above considerations and discussion on interesting issues, I formulated the following thesis that in many countries, in the scale of local economies, local self-government economies, in our immediate environment there are more and more examples of pro-ecological activities such as improving waste sorting, afforestation of areas industrially degraded and the creation of green areas in urban agglomerations, the growing importance of nature protection, the development of renewable energy sources, the development of electromobility, etc., which are part of the implementation of the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development in accordance with the concept of green economy.

In the context of this thesis, the following questions arise that may be the basis for conducting scientific research in this field:

- What kind of pro-ecological activities dominate in local economies in your countries?

- Does the local community fully accept new pro-ecological projects introduced by local government units or institutions and companies implementing ecological reforms?

- What kind of business entities, companies or local or central public sector institutions implement the above-mentioned pro-ecological activities?

- From what sources are the above-mentioned pro-ecological activities financed?

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

In the context of the above interesting discussion, I ask the following question: Is waste management efficiently carried out in your city, city district? Is the waste segregated? Is there a problem with non-biodegradable waste? Is there a problem with plastic waste? In connection with the growing importance of this issue, an important issue is the analysis of the correlation between the increase in environmental pollution by plastic and the efficiency of waste management. Are studies conducted that verify the correlation between the increase in environmental pollution by plastic and the efficiency of waste management? I ask the above questions on this Research Gate discussion forum because in recent years there have been more and more media reports that in many countries there has been a significant increase in plastic pollution and a decrease in waste management efficiency. The problem is serious because the microplastic particles are already accumulating in increasing numbers in some regions of the seas and oceans and poisoning the natural environment.

Please reply

I invite you to discussion

Thank you very much

Pro-ecological activities in my local community can be said to be mild, at best. Mainly, this can be attributed to lack of awareness and the nonchalant attitude of some individuals towards environmental conservation and protection. No photovoltaic systems exists. In fact, renewable sources of energy generation are virtually nonexistent, with the majority depending on wood and petrochemicals for energy, cooking and heat. Modern methods of transport, such as electric cars are yet to manifest. Nonetheless, individuals can, on their own volition, plant flowers, trees, etc in their houses, or yards, where such exist. Tree planting is embraced for two reasons majorly, the provision of shade and food value of the trees. There are sanctuaries for insects and birds in the only park within the vicinity, and some people keep pigeons. Waste sorting is carried out by the state waste control agency, but still, inadequacy of refuse disposing trucks predisposes the environment to housing large dumps of eyesores of refuse.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, Your participation in this discussion confirms the high priority of the issue discussed together. Thank you very much for participating in the discussion, for valuable tips and new insights given to the above issues regarding the answer to the question: What pro-ecological activities are carried out in the region where you live?

I confirm your observations and theses. Joint discussions are very encouraging, new concepts are created, exchange of ideas and different approaches to specific issues are created. Joint discussion significantly contribute to improving the concepts of scientific research, new theses, new formulas and directions of conducted research and new research.

I have been sorting garbage and waste for many years. Functioning in the urban agglomeration, I often move on foot, by bicycle or public transport within the framework of pro-ecological awareness. However, I noticed that many people still don't. I noticed that still in public institutions, local government units there is often a low level of social awareness in the area of ​​pro-ecological social responsibility. For example, why do local government units and / or housing cooperatives still choose companies in tenders for the provision of public services that do not fully apply the principles of sustainable development? for example, guided only by the price of services, do they choose cleaning companies that use combustion blowers used to sweep the cut grass? This is despite many comments addressed to the management of these institutions by the local community. This is just one of many examples that can be given to support the thesis that in many business entities but also in public institutions there is still a relatively low social awareness of the issue of team issues and individual social ecological responsibility of citizens and economic entities.

In view of the above, I formulated the following research thesis: At present, in many business entities, but also in public institutions, there is still relatively low social awareness of the issue of team and individual pro-ecological social responsibility of citizens and business entities.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question: Is there a growing social awareness of the issue of team and individual pro-ecological social responsibility of citizens in your countries?

Please reply.

Best wishes and I invite you to continue cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.

It is difficult to determine if the question is one of ignorance, or the dominance of a global economic system that is predicated upon the exploitation of human labor and natural resources for the benefit of a small segment of the human population. Such a system drives a dog-eat-dog socio-political structure that rewards greed and self-interest above the well being of both humanity and the biosphere, and, indeed, views the biosphere as a resource bank for those in positions of power. While this situation has persisted for millennia, as evidenced by centuries of human history, the current human population and levels of resource exploitation are so far beyond the biosphere's capacity to sustain that the consequences of this pathological approach to living on the Earth are now graphically obvious and exacting their toll on humanity itself.

That another, more harmonious, way of living on the planet is possible is evidenced by the thousands, perhaps millions, of small, egalitarian, ecologically appropriate efforts of human beings around the world. Yet still we see the dominance of the old, discredited paradigm of personal aggrandizement and greed, epitomized by the present "leadership" in the USA, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, etc. As the great American statesman, Frederick Douglass, so rightly noted:

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

The Earth will abide, with us, or without us. There is still time to save ourselves and a place for our future on this precious planet. But we must change how we live and how we understand our place within the great Web of Life. To paraphrase Albert Einstein: we cannot solve our current crisis with the same way of thinking that created it. Those who look to the violence, nationalism and self interest of the past as the path to the future would condemn humanity to Hell. A better world is possible, together.

Dear Jeffrey Creque,

Thank you very much for your beautiful and inspiring reflections. I fully agree with you. I am glad that we view these problems in a very similar way. I also share the opinion that it is only up to man to preserve the biosphere of our beautiful planet Earth for the next generations. Business still has to change in the processes of the green revolution. It is only up to man to what extent and pace will be implemented processes of implementing the principles of sustainable development, social environmental (ecological) responsibility, pro-ecological reforms, implementing eco-innovations in economic processes, etc. , brown economy to a sustainable green economy / circular economy. The processes of pro-ecological changes should be accelerated because there is relatively little time left. Each of us has greater or lesser possibilities to implement the principles of sustainable development, social environmental (ecological) responsibility, etc., and it is only up to us to what extent we use these opportunities. I conduct research on this issue and invite you to research cooperation.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Dear D A Gayan Nayanajith,

Dear Friend. Thank you very much for the information sent and for confirming my theses. In your answer to my question: What pro-ecological activities are carried out in the region where you live? - you have included key content and important suggestions for the necessary actions that should lead to increasing the scope of implementation of the principles of sustainable development, social environmental (ecological) responsibility, pro-ecological reforms in implementing eco-innovations in economic processes, etc. Thank you very much for the information sent regarding the literature describing the key issue and the essence of Sustainability [Tapia-Fonllem, C., Corral-Verdugo, V., Fraijo-Sing, B. and Durón-Ramos, MF (2013)]. Thank you for the information sent on the measures of sustainable behavior, which usually include a self-assessment of environmental actions. I agree with you that the concept of sustainable development clearly covers both meeting human needs and the need to protect the environment. Yes, I share your view on this issue. I also believe that the assessment of sustainable behavior and its correlates is based on the measure of pro-ecological, economical, altruistic and equitable actions, and many other determinants shaping the possibilities of implementing the principles of sustainable development into economic processes. I am delighted to see the development of our collaboration on this Research Gate discussion forum, from our discussions on various important topics.

Best regards,

I live in suburban UK. Not too much here. There is supposed tree planting, but I mostly see gardens being replaced by artificial grass, and trees being cut. The water courses are all in a state of decline. Farmland is poorly managed leading to flooding. I worry for our ecological freedoms.

Some of the pro-ecological activities in most parts of Ethiopia are afforestation, building of Soil and Water conservation structures and rehabilitation of degraded lands through area enclosure.

Dear Graeme Heyes, Yes, there is a lot to do in terms of greening. Thank you for your response. Let us hope that the scale of pro-ecological reforms will increase.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Dear Ermias Teferi, Yes, these pro-ecological activities, such as afforestation, construction of soil and water protection structures and reclamation of degraded areas by fencing the area, are very important. May as many pro-ecological activities as possible be carried out in various countries. Best wishes,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

In the context of the above discussion, the following question appears: Has the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic contributed to the increase in the scale of our pro-ecological activities?
