Sustainable living practices

 

On April 5, the Fatima Club meeting was held, it was dedicated to sustainable practices in everyday life. Eco-activists Evgenia Postnova and Almaz Barataliev shared their experiences.

Evgeniy Postnova’s presentation was called “Sustainable practices for residents of apartments and private houses” and told how you can adhere to environmental principles at home. Much was shown by the example of the “Ecohouse on Bystrotok”, the founders of which are Evgeniy and Almaz.

As Evgenia said, there is now a great interest all over the world in ecological houses, and it is, of course, dictated by the problems that more and more people face every day. As she noted, “the time has come for everyone to act.”

What is an eco-house? This is a system with the accumulation of an ecological resource in the process of human life. It consists of an energy-efficient house and a plot that is necessary to dispose of all waste and grow crops using methods that increase the ecological resource.

In private households and apartment buildings, to ensure sustainable development, attention must be paid to improving energy efficiency, water conservation, wastewater treatment, organic and inorganic waste management, microclimate management, ensuring food safety and growing organic products. The presentation showed in great detail the solution to these problems, both for houses and apartments, what difficulties can be encountered in their implementation and how they can be overcome. Particular attention was paid to the cultivation of organic products, which is an important element in ensuring food safety. As it turned out, it is quite possible to cope with this task in an apartment.
