kilometers to the east, auto mechanic vitality shesta cough stumbled upon what looks like the marble slabs . but they aren't vitaly shasta cough, lifting casella off. siberia. it snows here all winter. the snow, the falls from the sky here is often black from the coldest colors, italy's house and garden shades of black gray and white walls that move and sprinkle ground up pencil lead on to it. if you can, the same effect you see here, back home. why total and i ask is a medium sized city. it's economy relies on open pit. mine is dramatic. the city is located in coast bass. a coal mining region referred to as russia's black heart on some windy days. smoke is so bad, president say they struggled, brave, according to studies by an

n g o. twice as many people die of respiratory diseases here and elsewhere in russia. italy shesta cough and his neighbors have had enough of living conditions and silly ask why should one and a half years ago, i filmed last night and salt asylum in canada. we do not want our children to die of cancer caused by the terrible environment trade. but we'll get some understanding was that the canadian prime minister was very far away, reacted to a video faster than our own, or for a to you to less. laura leaders ignored. and then later, our governor react only is the traitors of the home country. and the cool bass region reverted road in the course, was at 4 and a half 1000 kilometers away in southern russia. the fundraiser has different concerns with moscow. the other going to it's when no new to comes from the tap and

we put our selves out here. the book. this is what comes out in the village maturing squire, there's a joke that goes cocoa coffee, who cares if it comes from the tap. maturing score lies directly along the cuban river in the region of the same name with this brown's juice. water that comes directly from the cool, far cry from the clear filtered water you would expect to come out of pipes. you can use it for washing or drink it. we have to let it stand at home and then boil it. like carrying buckets of brown water from the roadside pump has long been a daily task for residence of lamont off street and maturing squire this 2 story house does have water pipes. the pressure is often so low. they prefer to pump the

water themselves. it doesn't matter where you can anyway, that's all the water and mature. and koya comes from the kuda. when that's flooding, the water turned into grayish brown sludge, which then into maturity, squares pipes, nearly unfiltered. resolutely, that was to stand a large container. so the dust settling afterwards, the water is a bit cleaner, but just a bit. the even re balcony is retired. he can't remember the last time he drank pretty clean water from the top. compared to the same is stuck in getting has since 975 and that's how long we've had the struggle. some people boil the water, but i've done it. i need to pick just that it's and then cook with, with it only when it gets really grows to i drink, clean store,

bought drinking water in the store. but the water's expensive and the pension doesn't have much money. even belkin has to spend up to $3000.00 roubles a month on purchase. drinking water puts a 3rd of his pension, which is barely enough to make ends meet back to the federal server family on their way to visit her mother with her children. julia meets neighbors campaigning against the landfill. they managed to pressure the environmental agency to measure the quality of the tests revealed a level of hydrogen sulfide 25 times higher than what is permitted. the activists went to court, but to no avail. stinking mountain of garbage and nova should popo is one of several. russia is plagued by waste disposal. probably 24 percent of waste is recycled and 2 percent is incinerated. the rest is simply dumped

$86000.00 residence is one of the hardest in cities. many waste products from coal production contain burning toxic and radioactive substances. those who live here refused to leave the health in the hands of coal produces and protest. time and time again. even if it does little to change things, the vice governors words may sound promising that they ignore reality. just auto mechanic, baton. shesta cough was still the lead is couldn't care less about all this black snow for mining really not many here he wants to leave. that's not easy. providence leo. i'd like to sell my house. i can't get rid of an apartment, but not a whole house for 2. and only 2 people have responded. even

re belkin doesn't want to move away. he's come to terms with the bad water quantity . a few times a month he treats himself too expensive, drinking water in store bought water jugs. look at the, make sure not to heat too much, because then i get so thirsty. i have to drink the dirty river water. although i'm quite used to it now. as long as it is calmed meanwhile, the crew spent government intends to increase coal production. and the alex in sky pit in nova approval is set to be expanded. plus water consumption will rise in maturity scores during the hot summer, meaning more brown sludge from the cuban. and so all 3 environmental issues will persist here in russia. the, the
