On January 1, the law on separate waste collection came into force, the implementation of which was discussed on February 15 in the State Duma. It turns out that so far the regions are in no hurry to comply with the law, and 79 percent of Russians reported that there are not even special containers near their house.
All types of garbage so far in one bag
The law was adopted by the State Duma on December 22 and approved by the Federation Council on December 26. The President signed the document on 31 December. “We adopted the law, fulfilling the order of the president, which three departments did not fulfill, although they were instructed to do so,” said the head of the Duma Committee on Ecology (United Russia). The document allows shops and households to accumulate waste without a license. The latter were also allowed to sell recyclables directly, and manufacturers of goods were given the opportunity to establish a specialized collection system. Eco-collection funds are now used to build recycling facilities.
The law establishes that the authorities of the regions must coordinate with the citizens the location of sorting stations, waste incinerators and landfills. At the same time, each subject of the Federation will determine how much waste must be collected separately. Meanwhile, according to a survey by the National Financial Research Agency, only 22 percent of Russians collect garbage separately. At the same time, the majority of citizens - 79 percent - note that in the place where they live, there are no special containers for separate waste collection.
The meeting of the State Duma Committee on Ecology began with videos and photographs showing that the "garbage reform" is not being implemented very well. In some regions, there are three garbage cans, but they continue to throw everything together. The Skolkovo Innovation Center has trash bins with three different badges, but the trash bag is the same. Vladimir Burmatov drew attention to the fact that even if the citizens themselves deliberately sort the garbage, the garbage collectors often dump the contents of the containers in one place. “I see the problem in that the Ministry of Nature Russian Federation and a number of other departments have not prepared the regions for the transition to a system of separate waste collection, - said the deputy. - As a result, all the conditions and opportunities have been created by law, but in fact we are often talking about the profanation and discrediting of the whole idea. In my opinion, this is absolutely unacceptable and contradicts the instructions given by the president.”
Check each region
The Committee proposes to conduct federal monitoring within the framework of parliamentary oversight. It is proposed to control not only the separate collection of garbage, but also how the waste is disposed of. “You can collect it separately, and then take everything to the landfill and dump it in a heap again,” Vladimir Burmatov stated. The deputies will also control how the discussion of territorial schemes for the placement of landfills and waste incineration plants is going on. These issues, in accordance with the law, must be discussed at public hearings.
During the monitoring, it is planned to check how the distribution of environmental collection funds and their development is going. During regional weeks and on trips to the regions, deputies will assess the situation with garbage collection in their constituent entities, and on April 3, the State Duma will host a videoconference with 85 regions, where they will discuss what problems exist in each territory.
The law on separate waste collection will not be able to work without by-laws, said the Vice Speaker of the State Duma (United Russia). She drew attention to the fact that there are no by-laws on the public discussion of territorial layouts for sorting stations and waste incineration plants. “In fact, there is no possibility of implementing the law, and this is the most important point,” she said. Vladimir Burmatov stressed that the decision to prepare by-laws was made back in 2016 in a State Duma resolution signed by the speaker of the chamber.
Motivate financially and improve environmental culture
The deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Ecology (LDPR) stressed that separate waste collection should be stimulated financially. At meetings in the Government, it has already been said that a reduced tariff can be approved for separately collected waste.
The Ministry of Construction also reported that a draft decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was developed, which introduces changes to several regulations at once. According to the Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Andrey Chibis, for the export of waste that is sorted by consumers themselves, the tariff should be lower, since the Russians take on part of the work of turning waste into secondary raw materials.
It's not about finances and repressive measures, but about the environmental education of the individual, says a member of the State Duma Committee on Ecology and Protection environment, MP from " Just Russia» . He is sure that while the ecological culture of Russians is not enough for the idea of separate waste collection to take root. “Separate collection should be considered inseparably from environmental education,” agreed the first deputy chairman of the Committee for Environmental Protection (“United Russia”). This issue will be discussed in early June at a meeting on environmental education.
In the Stavropol Territory, 25 new kindergartens are to be built in 3 years, and 15 of them will begin to be created in 2019.

State Duma deputy Vladimir Burmatov continues to control the quality of overhauls
The basement of house number 55 on Turbinnaya Street looks like a bomb shelter. The plaster was falling off the walls, the bricks were spilling out, the foundation of the house was crumbling.
Having found out that the basement is undergoing major repairs, the residents were delighted, but the result of the repair disappointed everyone.
The project was drawn up without visiting the site, simply based on the total area of the house and the estimate, - said Lyudmila Fattakhova, a resident of the house 55 on Turbinnaya Street. - As a result, the entire estimate amounted to 49 thousand rubles, which was only enough to repair the boiler room. What is the point of repairing the facade if the foundation of the house will soon collapse and it will collapse!

State Duma deputy proposes to create environmental police in Russia
State Duma deputy Nikolai Valuev proposed to create an environmental police in Russia to combat poaching. “The Russian Federation needs a vertically integrated federal structure for protection, we call it the “environmental police” - this is a working title,” TASS quotes Valuev.
The deputy noted the growth of crimes against hunting inspectors.
“Indeed, huntsmen are dying, fish protection is dying, foresters are dying. It takes the scale of some system.
Indeed, many go unpunished,” he added.
The IOC showed the world the insecurity of athletes from discrimination, said Valuev
By not inviting Russian athletes justified by CAS to the Pyeongchang Olympics, the IOC showed the world that athletes are not protected from discrimination. This was stated by the first deputy head of the State Duma Committee on Ecology Nikolai Valuev, according to the United Russia website.
“No one has any illusions about undeserved accusations. The decision taken by the Court of Sport is not an axiom for the IOC. This means that any state is not immune from such discriminatory decisions by the IOC,” Valuev said.

27.02.2017 11:12:48 To the text of the bill "On the responsible treatment of animals" on this moment received about 190 amendments. Until March 24, the relevant committee is waiting for feedback on the document of the regions, as well as all subjects legislative initiative. In the spring session of the House of Parliament, the document should be adopted. This was announced on Monday, February 27, by the chairman of the Committee on Ecology and Environmental Protection Olga Timofeeva. According to her, the decision on the timing was made by the committee in agreement with the Council State Duma.“About 190 amendments were received to the text of the bill, while the government has not yet introduced a single amendment. Working on the law, we took into account not only all the proposals received, but also the opinion of public organizations and experts, and tried to exclude acute, unsettled issues. The text of the law is almost ready for the second reading. At the same time, in the next month we want to hear the position of the regions, how ready they are, because the main powers to implement the law will be assigned to the subjects of the Federation,” the parliamentarian noted.
Recall that the bill "On the responsible treatment of animals" was submitted to the State Duma in the fall of 2010 by a group of deputies of the fifth convocation. In March 2011, it was adopted on first reading. The document caused a lot of questions and disputes among experts and animal rights activists and, ultimately, remained "lying on the shelf." Meanwhile, society is waiting for him. It is needed to resolve conflict and even tragic situations that now and then arise when people communicate with animals.
Russian President Vladimir Putin drew attention to the importance of adopting this bill. This topic was raised by the president at a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and Priority Projects in November last year, it was also heard at the final forum of the ONF. The federal government was given a corresponding order to finalize the bill.
The UNITED RUSSIA party keeps this resonant issue in the focus of its attention. According to party members, the facts of cruelty to animals should be stopped immediately, and cases of death of people from dog attacks should stop.
According to the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Ecology and Environmental Protection Vladimir Panov, the law must necessarily contain a definition of what animal cruelty is, and a complete ban on such actions has been introduced, a ban on both the production and distribution of materials promoting cruelty to animals. The issue of improving the safety of people when handling animals should also be reflected, in particular, changing the procedure for handling stray animals, the OSVV program (catch-sterilization-vaccination-return), a ban on the so-called "overexposure" for captured dogs and replacing them with professional shelters for animals that are necessary to detect aggressive or rabies-infected animals. In addition, a ban is needed on keeping wild animals at home, which can be potentially dangerous to human life and health. It is necessary to provide for the possibility of state registration of pets.
