Ihor Kozodoy,
call center employee:
“We need to make more parks, green areas or even plant small trees. The best option is to organize more green zones.”
Arseny Panfilov,
pensioner:
“I think the penalties for littering should be high, and completely discourage littering in any way. And in all major cities of the world, like Paris, London, Lisbon, the city center is free of cars – not because they’re banned, but because the cost of parking is so high. We also seriously need to do something about the Dnipro River – it’s impossible to swim in it because of the bacteria now.”
Anna Savkina,
babysitter:
“It depends on the people, on all of us. We need to start with the education of children in families. We must, of course, start with small steps. For example, have more trash cans — sometimes you go on a main street and can’t see any. That`s why people throw rubbish on the street. And it would be nice if the water in the river could be cleaner, because I want to swim there with children.”
Serhiy Pirogov,
pensioner:
“We must do the same as the Singapore authorities. If you throw rubbish on the street in Singapore you will get fined more than $500. We have to create strict conditions. I think we should create an environmental police, who would also serve as a patrol police, and monitor the city.”
Liubov Shikorenko,
student:
“I guess we need to change the transport infrastructure, and allow more public transport in the city. Maybe we need to limit car traffic in the city center. Kyiv is more polluted because of motor vehicles. I think environmental standards should be reviewed and made stricter.”
