The environment
1 Read the following blog about the environment in a Russian town.
Раньше у нас в городе было много экологических проблем. Но люди здесь
рады, что сейчас это зелёный город, где приятно жить.
А почему всё не как раньше? Есть меньше заводов, и это, конечно, помогает.
Но больше всего люди думают серьёзно о будущем и делают больше для
окружающей среды.
Политики согласны, что чистый воздух — это приоритет. Поэтому они будут
строить новые дороги, которые будут лучше и безопаснее для велосипедов.
