Ecologist Day
Today is Ecologist Day. Formally, this is my only professional holiday, since a diploma in ecology is my only diploma.
Congratulations to Greenpeace, WWF, Zhenya Chirikova and Misha Matveev - the country's mega-ecological family, as well as all the guys who are defenders of the Khimki forest and in general - the entire "Eco-Defense", from Baikal to Utrish, I congratulate the heroic Suren Gazaryan and the wise Evgeniy Vitishko, as well as all the activists " Ecowatches" in the North Caucasus, congratulations to the green faction of the Yabloko party, congratulations to the courageous defenders of the Tsagovsky forest, the stern defenders of the pine forest in Chelyabinsk.
Congratulations to everyone who knows how to see a little further than the short life of a well or a quarry, who cares not about their pockets, but about the health of the people around them.
An ecologist today is a more dangerous calling than a politician. In Khimki alone, several people were killed and maimed, and dozens were injured. So thank you to everyone on the front lines.
