No one has yet learned how to work with this garbage. At home, I paid attention to this. Now I try to buy where there is less packaging, I now wash plastic, wash glass, sort garbage separately, ”the politician explained in an interview.
Abramchenko also gave advice to Russians who would like to strengthen their contribution to the environment in the country."
“Please don’t buy yourself new jeans every season, too much water is used in production, you can walk long enough in the same jeans, well, or reanimate them,” she said.
